Re: Want beatuful wood wheel too!
On order!!! Thank you so very much! Saved me quite a bit over a Vetus wheel. Pulled the original to make sure it had a 3/4” taper.

Re: Want beatuful wood wheel too!
I pilot the DuNORD while standing at the helm with the top open in fair weather and can easily reach down to the new rim of the wheel for 360-degree contact, whereas formerly it was finger-tip-touch, spoke-to-spoke. In close quarter maneuvers the knob tells me where neutral helm is.
I talked dad into one of those camp-on knobs for the '51 Chevy DeLuxe (our Albin-25 is a Deluxe, too) but it didn't last long.

Re: Want beatiful wood wheel too!
Got it installed! I wish I had ordered the next size up but this clears my legs when sitting so I think it will be good. At some point i might swap in a new steering cable. When installing the wheel I played around a little with the helm and it seems like the friction is in the cable and not in the autopilot. I swapped cable in my bowrider and that made it much lighter on the wheel , almost to light. Does anyone know the length of the A25 cable?

Looks great! Any larger and it would interfere with stuff.

Re: Want beautiful wood wheel too!
I’m bummed! I tried to order a wood wheel as well, however the chandlery just cancelled my order as the wheel is out of stock and discontinued! Dang!

Re: Want beautiful wood wheel too!
Can you call them and find out who they sourced it from? Perhaps THEY can still get you one. Just a thought.Dieselram94 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 22, 2019 4:11 pm I’m bummed!
