This 13.5-inch diameter wheel features a black powder coat finish with knob finger grips, designed for boaters who demand both style and durability at the helm.

Engineered for Maximum Strength:

Manufactured using unified investment casting with an integrated ring, the Primus delivers massive structural strength. The 316L stainless steel construction is NMMA type-accepted and CE certified, greatly exceeding ABYC P-22 and ISO 8848 standards. This premium-grade stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance and minimal maintenance requirements, backed by a lifetime warranty.

Ergonomic Comfort Features:

• Rim diameter: 13.5 inches with 1-1/8-inch thickness to reduce hand fatigue during extended use
• UV-resistant black Santoprene™ rubber overlay provides all-weather grip and comfort
• Integrated finger grips extend through the top of the rim for secure handling
• Contiguous Santoprene extends under spoke junctions for smooth, ergonomic contact
• Slotted spoke design with decorative Santoprene inserts
• Slightly radiused edges for comfort without sacrificing defined appearance

Control Knob Design:

Includes a stainless steel control knob with glass ball bearings for corrosion-free, free-spinning operation. The knob mounts 3/4-inch from the rim edge to prevent interference with helm controls, with concealed fasteners for a clean, snag-free finish.

Universal Compatibility:

Features industry-standard 3/4-inch tapered hub with durable stainless steel center nut that works with all marine steering systems. The black powder coat finish provides a dramatic contrast to the polished stainless steel components, complementing any helm décor.
