Driving Steering Wheels

Steering wheels are essential components for controlling and maneuvering boats, offering a practical alternative to the traditional tiller. Available in various shapes, sizes, and materials, it's important to choose the wheel that best suits your needs and the type of vessel.

Main features of nautical steering wheels:

• Materials : Steering wheels can be made of stainless steel, aluminum, carbon fiber, or wood, each with specific characteristics of strength, weight, and aesthetics.

• Spokes : The configuration of the spokes (the number and arrangement) affects the strength and design of the steering wheel.

• Size : The diameter of the steering wheel affects handling; smaller wheels offer quicker responses, while larger ones provide more control.

• Mounting Cone : It is essential to check the cone type (e.g., standard 3/4 inch) to ensure the steering wheel is compatible with your vessel's steering system.
