BACKSTORY: I just acquired a 1989 17 Super Sport Limited with an aftermarket steering wheel. I want to replace that steering wheel with a stainless steel Destroyer-type steering wheel. Go2marine.com sells a Schmitt wheel in various sizes and dish angles.

RAAAY--My winter project was rescuing a Sport 13. Among the pile of parts that came with it was a 15-1/2-inch stainless steel wheel. I bought a smaller 13" wheel for my project, and now the 15" wheel is hanging in the garage. If you are interested in this, text me at 503-341-4634.

It is in good condition. I don't know the dish angle. On on a flat surface, the top of the rim of the wheel is 4-1/2-inches high. It does not have the plastic center cap.

I am a motivated seller, meaning, I would love to see it go to another guy on this website working on his Whaler project, and I will never use it.

You have not specified the number of spokes for the Destroyer-type wheel.

See: https://continuouswave.com/whaler/reference/OEM.html#SSwheel

From what I have read, a six-spoke wheel is correct for a 1989 17-foot Boston Whaler. I guess I would prefer [a six-spoke Destroyer wheel].

Can you share the bibliography?

Where do you live? Did you find one yet? I have a five-spoke original.

Bob, thanks. The Destroyer steering wheel should help dress-up my SSL.
