| Post subject: | Steering Wheel Upgrade? Splined Shaft |
So I have a 2006 H180. Love the boat. Hate the steering wheel. Besides the ladder, its the cheapest looking/feeling thing on the boat. Prefer not to pay $200 for an upgrade at the dealer. Found many nice steering ~$60 wheel replacements on eBay but almost all of them are the key style mount. Very few splined 19 tooth variety out there. Does anyone know of a good source of aftermarket steering wheels that fits the splined shaft? OR, does anyone know of a spline to keyway adaptor? |

I have been looking at the wheels and hub kits from Grant Products. They offer a splined marine adapter for their wheels, as well as tapered shaft adapters. I believe that their hubs are a standard 5 bolt pattern, so wheels from most companies should fit the hub. I would drop them a line to verify that the hub is indeed 19 tooth. http://www.grantproducts.com/c-67-Marine.aspx I was going to mentionthat you probably had a tapered shaft, like my 2007, but I took a quick look at the Four Winns parts catalogs for both years, and was surprised to find that sure enough the 2006 had a splined steering shaft, and the 2007 has a tapered and keyed shaft! |

This helps out greatly thanks man! FW may have changed to newer/better teleflex steering system in 07 effecting the hub connection. Yes, Grant has a hub adapter OR you can order a new steering wheel and many of their models have the splined hub as an option. thanks again. |

Why don't you just replace the wheel with one of the same brand as your currently have? My '02 Horizon had a splined up, but a Dino Wheel. I just picked up a new Dino wheel on ebay myself for like ~70(+shipping). It came with a keyed hub, but, I'll just swap out the wheel and leave the hub in place. Besides, Dino wheels look great. |

I ended up just ordering a Grant Marine steering wheel. They can be ordered with the spline hub without fooling with an adapter. I ordered from JEGS. It was like $100 shipped. http://www.grantproducts.com/popup.aspx ... ge/828.jpg |

Very Nice! I have this one sitting at home, and am thinking of puting it in....  I think it would look cool in the boat, but the admeral doesn't think it would go. We'll see how that pans out  I think if I made a mahogany dash insert to match the wheel, it would look pretty sharp!
