If it is a hydraulic helm it is impossible.

Buy a steering wheel that is symetrical all the way around so you don't notice it.

dont you worry, there is no shortage of dumb guys here....

when i redid the dash in the cafe, i didnt even think about it... thats how dumb i am....

what i always did when i shut it down at the dock, i would always turn the wheel the way it was supposed to go.... this way i looked like i knew what i was doing.... after a while, it became second nature....

the wheel looks so much better than most, it looks better upside down, then most do upright.....lol
