Steering Wheels
If you had the choice would you go with:
The Edson brand wheel: Made of aluminum, on many of the best boats today. Price: with knob,wheel nut approx $350.00  The "other"wheel: made of cast Stainless also on many top name boats. Price: with knob, wheel nut approx $100.00 Which would you choose? New SeaCrafts have the Edson but $350!!! thats alot of money. and the other brand is Cast Stainless I am guessing this would be stronger. Anyone seen the Other brand before or know who makes it?

Re: Steering Wheels
Get a Destroyer Wheel!!!! You are resurecting and modernizing an Old War Horse [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] and she needs a wheel that can steer her in Harms Way!!!
I'm kinda sentimental like that....

Re: Steering Wheels
Either wheel is nice and currently I have the Destroyer wheel looks great but these wheels arent to shabby either...they give you that modern flair.. I've been eyeing up the Edson for a while and then saw the Gemlux [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img] but at this point,with my boat, its a little hard to justify the cost.
I think there is a place in Conn ..... Defender marine??? that I've seen the Edson wheel for sale in the $260 range $350 with the knob. I'll have to see if I can find the catalog. Scott [ February 27, 2002, 06:14 PM: Message edited by: Scott ]

Re: Steering Wheels
Hey guys-
This is my first post! Glad we finally have a site for these great boats. I have a Release Marine wheel on my 23. Release is here in Savannah, but I found mine at Boaters World in Ft. Lauderdale. You may be able to find one there or get in touch with Release - sorry I don't know their website.

Re: Steering Wheels
HA TRAYDER
I JUST BOUGHT THAT STANLESS 13” WHEEL TODAY. IF IT IS THE SAME ONE IT HAS RIDGES ON THE BOTTOM SIDE OF THE WHEEL FOR YOUR HAND. IT LOOKS GOOD IS CHEAPER AND IT IS THE RIGHT SIZE. I LIKE THE KNOB I NEVER HAD ONE BEFORE. NOW ALL I HAVE TO DO IS GET THE BOAT DONE. FELLOW-SHIP [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

I installed my 13" ss wheel yesterday and it looks GREAT, but, the wheel nut is the wrong size. It is too big. I called Binder Marine today and I'm not the first with this.You might want to check yours now. Hammer
