Steering Wheel Knob

[Barry Cohen]

Can you recommend a source for a wheel knob for a 2011 RT-27, such as the one you show in the "Close Quarter Maneuvering" video? The wheel is rather "fat".

My wheel is too fat too. I tried three different knobs and none fit. I have a 2021 R25.

I got this one which works great and fits fine. The only issue is it does stick out a little, ie takes up some space when you are standing at the helm, as opposed to sitting.

Same here: tried a couple that didn't fit, and finally the one that it4llc noted, which fits great (very adaptable).

OTOH, I almost immediately removed it, because it hits my knee when I turn fast. Ouch! So it may depend how and where you sit or stand.

Yeah, I had to get used to it a little but now for the most part I don't hit myself, and it really helps as the fairways in our marina are tight.

YES!

We have an R27 and we purchased a steering knob off Amazon which does fit but it's tight I was able to make the existing hardware work. Below is a link if you'd like to take a look.

I bought this same for my 2021 R27. Tight fit but works very well. I wouldn't want to moving in close quarters without it.

The amazon wheel works well on my R31 as well and it is a close match to the wheel's finish.

The Dark Wine color matches my wheel very well. 2021 R-23.

Just happened to be eating breakfast on board while reading this post and was able to snap the pic without even moving...

I like the finish and matches the steering wheel. I just bought it online and will try it out.


Thanks!!

I bought the knob with the nice finish that previous person posted. It will only fit if you take off the inside rubber gasket. Its a tight fit and probably left a mark on the wheel but it works and looks nice.
