13.5" Stainless Steel Boat Steering Wheel – 5 Spoke with Spinner Knob

$174.90

Built for the rigours of the Australian marine environment, this 13.5-inch stainless steel boat steering wheel delivers a commanding, corrosion-resistant grip on the water. Crafted from marine-grade 316 stainless steel with a mirror-polished finish, the five-spoke design provides excellent strength-to-weight balance while keeping the helm looking sharp and professional. The wheel fits standard 3/4-inch tapered shafts, making it a direct-fit replacement for most cable-steered trailer boats, bowriders, and fishing vessels without modification.

Whether you're navigating coastal inlets, lake flats, or estuaries on your trailer boat, this steering wheel is built to handle Australian sun, salt spray, and UV exposure session after session. The included spinner knob (also known as a suicide knob or brodie knob) gives you single-handed control — ideal for tight manoeuvres around jetties, boat ramps, and moorings. A practical upgrade for weekend fishos, offshore adventurers, and anyone who tows a boat alongside their caravan or 4WD rig for a complete outback-and-water adventure setup.

Common questions about 13.5" Stainless Steel Boat Steering Wheel – 5 Spoke with Spinner Knob

How do I know this will fit my boat?

Pull your old wheel off and look at the shaft. If it's a 3/4 inch tapered shaft with a keyway — which covers most cable-steered trailer boats running Teleflex or SeaStar gear — this drops straight on. Hydraulic helms and splined shafts are a different animal and won't take it.

Is 13.5 inches too small for my helm?

For a console-steered trailer boat, no — it's the size most runabouts and tinnies run, and it keeps your knees clear. On a heavier hull with stiff cable steering you'll notice the shorter leverage, especially at low speed. The spinner knob is what makes up the difference.

Will the polished finish stay looking sharp?

Not on its own. 316 stainless resists salt spray rather than ignoring it, and a mirror finish parked in a coastal shed will pick up tea staining — brown speckling that looks like rust but polishes off. Rinse the helm when you rinse the boat and give it a wipe with a stainless polish.
