Swapped on the new steering wheel

BellevilleMXZ

Nice improvement over the old one. Didn't even have to swap the adapter, it bolted right on the original one.

Very nice. Did you need a puller to get the old one off? I want to straighten mine. It is 180* off when going straight.

BellevilleMXZ

No puller, just 6 allen screws under the cover.

Nevermind see it's a 2005.  Wish my 2004 had that !

Almost the exact same helm as the 280. Slightly different

Anyone know where to get the new Rinker steerling wheel? I already checked GLS. No dice.

BellevilleMXZ

I found similar online, without Rinker symbol, but tey are almost 600 if I recall, thats why I bought this one. I forget the brand name off the top of my head of the Rinker one.

Possible to share make and model of your new wheel? I'm looking for a direct replacement

Hello everyone.  I just purchased a 2003 Fiesta Vee 250, LOVING EVERY SECOND IN IT!!!!!!
I would like to change the steering wheel but this is something I have never done before.  Any pointers?

Thank you.

My comment on this thread explains how I did it on my '06 FV250. I would recommend a puller over a hammer.

Sorry for reviving an old thread, and sorry for my ignorance, but any of those wheels work as long as the hub is replaced? Looking to replace the steering wheel on our 2004 FV 290 with this:

New to this forum.  I have a new to me 2007 Rinker 350 and replaced the pitted factory wheel with this one from ebay.  Had to use a puller.

Welcome @cme4brain . Nice choice, the colours complement the cockpit.

Looks like it came with the boat. 👍

@cme4brain that’s really nice. Mine split this year on me.  Do you have a link to where you got it?

You are kind.  After I bought this one, I found the original Isosetta wheel for $500, maybe less with a discount,

Did this upgrade on a 2008 EC260. Wheel and dash/gauges were bought at Great Lakes Skipper.
