Experience Superior Control with the Lewmar Power Grip Steering Wheel

Upgrade your vessel's helm with the Lewmar 15.5-inch stainless steel welded Power Grip wheel, engineered for precision handling in demanding marine conditions. This isn't just a steering wheel—it's a command center designed for captains who demand reliability, comfort, and effortless maneuverability on the water.

Crafted from robust 316 stainless steel, the wheel resists corrosion from saltwater exposure, ensuring it stands up to years of offshore adventures.

Key Features That Set It Apart

• Premium Construction: Fully welded 316 stainless steel rim and cast spokes with an integrated hub for unmatched strength and a sleek, modern look.
• Smooth Operation: Pre-assembled with a ball-raced Power Grip mechanism that delivers silky-smooth rotation, minimizing effort even in rough seas.
• Non-Magnetic Design: Ideal for boats equipped with sensitive electronics like compasses, as it won't interfere with magnetic readings.
• Optimized Dimensions: 15.5-inch rim diameter paired with a 1-inch tapered hole and 1/2-inch nut for straightforward integration into most steering systems.
• Three-Spoke Layout: Provides balanced leverage and clear visibility of instruments below the wheel.

Whether you're fine-tuning your sail trim or dodging choppy wakes, this wheel translates subtle inputs into confident control, enhancing your boating safety and enjoyment.

Why Boaters Trust Lewmar for Steering Excellence

In the world of marine steering, Lewmar sets the benchmark with innovations born from decades of real-world testing. This Power Grip wheel excels where others falter: its deep dish not only boosts grip comfort but also positions your arms naturally, promoting better posture and reducing strain during high-stress maneuvers.

Imagine threading through a crowded marina or holding course in 20-knot winds—the responsive ball bearings ensure every turn feels intuitive, giving you the edge in performance sailing or powerboating. Non-magnetic properties make it a smart choice for modern yachts with advanced navigation suites, preserving compass accuracy without compromise.

Beyond durability, the wheel's aesthetic polish complements any cockpit design, elevating your boat's premium feel while delivering functional superiority.

Practical Tips for Seamless Integration and Longevity

Installing this wheel is straightforward for those familiar with pedestal or rack steering systems—simply align the 1-inch tapered hole with your shaft and secure using the included 1/2-inch nut. For optimal performance, ensure proper alignment to avoid binding.

Maintain its shine and smoothness with routine freshwater rinses after saltwater use, and inspect bearings periodically for smooth play. A light marine-grade lubricant on the race keeps it spinning freely season after season.

This wheel pairs beautifully with Lewmar's ecosystem of autopilots and instruments, creating a cohesive helm that's as reliable as it is responsive.

Perfect for Serious Mariners

From coastal cruisers to bluewater voyagers, the Lewmar 15.5-inch Power Grip wheel is tailored for those who refuse to settle for ordinary. Its blend of ergonomic design, marine-grade materials, and proven Power Grip technology makes it a worthwhile investment in your vessel's core functionality.
