New steering wheel needed.

[Snowboat]

Rex, my stitching is coming undone and I'd like to get a new steering wheel. The one I have has nine bolts in the center. It is 3 3/4" from one, to the farthest one, and 1 5/16" from one, to the next, all measurements center to center. The total diameter is 11" from center of rim to center of rim, so I guess it is a 12" wheel. I can't tell from your catalog what might fit. The boat is a 1981 Biesemeyer.

I'm not getting a match on your 3 3/4 measurement but the 1 5/16 appears to be a formuling type c-c. Is it 1/4-20 threads on the bolts or something smaller like 8/32 or 10/32?
1/4-20 large 9-bolt would indicate a Formuling or Grant F-9 pattern most likely. Formuling no longer available but here is the link to the Grant F9 Page. (http://www.rexmar.com/page90.html)
If your bolts are 8 or 10/32 you most likely have a Lecarra Wheel. We have Lecarra Wheels (http://www.rexmar.com/page89.html) here. Same bolt pattern as Lecarra will fit our Impy Billet Wheels Impy 1 (http://www.rexmar.com/page86.html) or Impy 2 (http://www.rexmar.com/page87.html) .
You can easily change to a Lecarra or Impy style wheel if you want by changing the hub which we have most combos for.
We also now stock the new colored Momo 6 bolt wheels (not yet on website) and that would require a hub change as well.
Steering wheel diameter is normally the outer diameter of the grip. Grant F9's are 13", Impy billets are 13 1/2" or 14 1/2", and Lecarra makes 12", 13", 14". I would suggest nothing larger than 13 1/2" on that smaller boat.
If you have any questions just give Bob a call or PM me. Thanx. :)

Notice how he neatly sidesteps those snide comments about the catalog? :D :D

I've been thinking of listing my 1999 catalog in the parts swap forum. Rex, bought a wheel today.

[Rexone]

big bucks on ebay.. wink Thanks for the biz, which wheel did you end up with? :)

[Snowboat]

I got the Grant with satin aluminum and black cover. Hope its not too big. I guess I'll get a hub and another wheel if it is. What's the smallest wheel available?

[Rexone]

Smallest available is the 12" Lecarra wheel. I think 13 will be ok for you though. :)

I just put a new Grant 13" on my boat, perfect size for a jet boat.
