The white steering wheel?
OK so my boat didn't have that famous Fountain wheel on it when we got it.
Thought I would break down and buy one from Riverview Marine.
Got it today but it looks too big in dia.
Would you guys measure your steering wheels for me and tell me what you come up with...Im looking for the overall dia.
Thanks

Marky Mark,
13" od, 3" total depth.
but then my boat is a little
shorter, so do the ratio thing.

Mark,
That’s the oversized wheel they sent me at the beginning of the season. You wanted it until I found out it was the wrong size. We need to find the manufacturer for those wheels. I'd like to get one that is leather wrapped. I'll try to call the factory next week. Maybe they'll return my call.

Called Fountain today on the wheel...believe it or not spoke to a nice lady in parts and she double checked the part # for me with the invoice that went out to Riverview.
It checked out!?
The wheel measures 14" overall.
Still would like to hear from more owners of what they come up with on their factory wheels.
Something so simple but a battle as usual when it come to boats.
