New Steering Wheel...

[MonacoMike]

My Cruisers has a very similar steering wheel to the Sea Ray vessels of similar size and it looks very dated with all the updating I am doing. Is this wheel big enough for a 40 foot express cruiser? Will it look good proportionally?

For a 40 footer you should have at least this size or bigger:

That looks a lot more like it belongs on a big bridge boat than a sleek express cruiser style vessel...

Mike, remember those tiny steering wheels made from silver chain? They were used a lot in the 50's. You need one of those.

Just kidding. If you have power steering on your boat that wheel should work. It'll also be easier to fit a big belly behind it without it rubbing on your shirt.

I think that will look good. M

I think the steering wheel will look awesome and with that SeaRay center cap emblem your resale should go up thousands...

Some very nice folks just across the bay, have you been there?

Not yet. Never ventured across in the 320. We will be touring a lot this year. Leland and the CSR reunion are already planned. Frankfort is on the agenda to check out. M

I have the same wheel on my 460. Love it. Once you add the SR logo it adds at least 25hp.

Yep, want to get it on. At my age getting it on has a different meaning than 30 years ago. LOL

First thing i did when i bought our boat was replace the steering wheel. The original wheel looks like it came out of my 1990 VW jetta about 30 years ago. I ended up buying the new version that Sea Ray was using and love it!

That's one of the first things I did as well. I couldn't stand the look, and my OCD drove me crazy with that T-bar rarely being straight.
