New steering wheel suggestion...
 
I am in need of a new steering wheel for my 38' Fountain and would like some suggestions not only on the type but also where to buy one online. Her is what I have looked at so far; I LIKE... the Momo and Isotta designs with the raised grip sections and the rest of the wheel being padded. I DO NOT LIKE: having looked at the Livorsi and although I like the color options, I hate the smooth metal finsh and 1 dimentional look.

Thanks in advance for the help and suggestions.

Lucky...what type/mfg is that, I love the look but that one does have the smooth metal finish?

Contact "Biggus." It is his boat.

Cuda, thanks for the post what brand is that wheel? Are teh Yellow sections metal or padded with material over the top?

I think they are Spargi wheels. They are in the Gaffrig catalogue. They come in several colors. I bought mine from Oso member Ryan Beckley, he had several at the time. The yellow is like a hard rubber the best I could describe it.

Look for the thread miami boat show pics, all the cigs are sporting this new look, Livorsi had them in their booth, they feel great in your hand:D very solid

I just started flipping through my most recently arrived PowerBoat mag, and viola', it was listed in there...they are buy Isotta and distributed by Lavorsi...they are HOT looking....guess my decision is made :D . Thanks for the help guys...I will post pics when I get it installed along with my bezels to match!!

Wheels with the grips.

I went with the super smoothy wheel w/o grips. With my hyd steering, the wheel does not always end up the the same location. Thought it might look strange with the grips not at 9 and 3.

I've notice this, whats up with that? The Cig brochure shows Phil Driving a boat that looks like the wheel is turned but the drives are staight and the boat is flying:confused:
