New Steering Wheel

[CJ7Rob]

I like the look of these 3 spoke style wheels you see on a lot on new center consoles. Was thinking of replacing the original spoke one on my 204c. Anyone have any experience with the ones they're selling on Ebay below or how they hold up and last in the salt? Thanks

I bought one of these for a 15ft Whaler I restored earlier this year and it's held up really well (salt environment). The knob is a bit stiff but works fine. No corrosion. Great finish. I used similar wheels on other Whalers I restored and I just saw one that I did about 3 yrs ago and it looks great - like new.

Schmitt Ongara is the OEM provider for grady wheels. I purchased one for my bimini 306 about 2 years ago and paid around $175. The ones on ebay must be knock offs at that price.

Which one did you go with? The FX or the Elite?

I went with the 13.5” vision elite as I liked the look of the all stainless knob vs the one with the black insert. Really nice wheel.
