Designed for the discerning boat owner who values both aesthetics and performance, the VETUS KW wheel transforms your steering experience, adding a touch of luxury and unparalleled control.
The most striking feature of this high-quality spoked wheel is its unique seamless mahogany rim. Unlike segmented wheels, this single, continuous piece of rich, dark mahogany offers a flawlessly smooth and warm feel in your hands. The seamless construction not only showcases exceptional woodworking artistry but also provides superior strength and durability, eliminating joints that can weaken over time. The lustrous, polished finish protects the wood from the marine environment while highlighting its beautiful natural grain, ensuring it remains a stunning focal point on your vessel for years to come.
Complementing the warm tones of the mahogany are the six gleaming stainless steel spokes, which provide a robust structure and a classic nautical look. The central hub, also crafted from highly polished stainless steel, is engineered for longevity and exceptional resistance to corrosion. This combination of materials creates a beautiful contrast and ensures reliable performance even in the harshest saltwater conditions. The 380mm diameter is expertly chosen to offer a perfect balance between comfortable handling and precise rudder response, giving you confident command of your boat whether you are navigating tight marinas or cruising open waters.
Installation and compatibility are streamlined for your convenience. This wheel is designed for steering helm pumps with a ¾” shaft, tapered 1:12, a standard specification which will fit to most steering systems from various manufacturers. This makes the VETUS KW wheel an ideal and straightforward upgrade for a wide range of boats, from classic restorations to modern cruisers seeking a touch of traditional class. Enhance your connection to your vessel and the water with a steering wheel that delivers on every level—style, quality, and precise control over your rudders.
