Schmitt Marine 170 Finger Grip Destroyer 5-Spoke 15.5" Stainless Steel Cap 3/4" Tapered Shaft w/Knob

The Schmitt Marine 170 Finger Grip Destroyer 5-Spoke 15.5" Stainless Steel Cap 3/4" Tapered Shaft w/Knob is a premium marine steering wheel designed for operators who demand precision control and durability in high-performance boating applications. This heavy-duty wheel is engineered for vessels requiring responsive helm input and reliable operation in both saltwater and freshwater environments.

Built from marine-grade stainless steel, the 15.5-inch diameter provides optimal leverage and steering feel without excessive effort, critical for extended helm time and precise maneuvering. The 5-spoke design balances structural rigidity with lightweight construction, reducing fatigue during long operations while maintaining the strength required for high-speed course corrections. The 3/4" tapered shaft with knob ensures compatibility with standard marine steering pedestals and quick-disconnect systems.

This wheel is ideal for boat builders, restoration specialists, and recreational boaters seeking enhanced steering performance. Its stainless steel cap resists corrosion from salt spray, UV exposure, and constant moisture, making it a necessity for marine hardware exposed to harsh oceanic conditions. With a weight of 5.6 lbs, the wheel's weight distribution supports smooth rotation and responsive steering feel without introducing lag or dead spots in the helm response.
