Strong & classic, steering wheel conveys quality
Handled more than any other onboard component, a boat’s steering wheel conveys a sense of both quality and confidence in its seafaring abilities. The 39cm stainless steel Primus wheel from Schmitt Marine does that and more. With its massive strength and classic appearance, it enhances everything from a workboat to a mid-sized center console to the flybridge of a large sportfish yacht.
The Primus wheel is manufactured of solid 316 stainless steel using investment casting, including the integrated ring. This produces a wheel of uncompromising strength. It exceeds ABYC P-22 and ISO 8848 standards and is why Schmitt Marine can offer a lifetime warranty against corrosion and structural integrity.
Offered in both polished and black powder-coated finishes, the Primus has three spokes with softened edges to accommodate a wide range of driving styles. The spokes are available in a solid or open-slotted style or with black UV-resistant Santoprene inserts.
Designed for all-day comfort, the wheel has a generous 28mm wide rim with ergonomic finger grips that lessen hand fatigue. The rim is offered in solid stainless steel or with the addition of Santoprene inserts for vibration reduction and a sure grip in wet weather.
All Primus versions are available with Schmitt Marine’s exceptionally free-spinning Control Knob. Using glass ball bearings and spoke-mounted 19mm from the rim, it provides quick maneuverability when needed, yet won’t interfere with standard operation.
Ideal for boatbuilders and refit DIYers, the Primus wheel uses an industry-standard 19mm tapered hub. The matching stainless steel center nut works with all marine steering systems. Schmitt Marine offers custom powder coating and Santoprene colors for OEM quantity orders. A 13-1/2″ version is also available.
