Lewmar 13.5in Power Grip Wheel Stainless Steel M12 Nut

Experience Superior Control with the Lewmar 13.5-Inch Power Grip Steering Wheel

Navigating open waters demands a steering wheel that combines rugged durability with effortless handling. Crafted for serious mariners, this 13.5-inch stainless steel wheel from Lewmar elevates your boating experience. Its welded construction and ergonomic Power Grip design deliver precise control, even in rough seas, while the polished oval-shaped tubular rim offers a comfortable, non-slip hold that reduces fatigue during long voyages.

What sets this wheel apart is its deep-dish profile, providing ample clearance for comfortable arm positioning without compromising on responsiveness. Whether you're trimming sails on a yacht or maneuvering a powerboat through choppy conditions, the integrated ball-raced Power Grip ensures smooth, low-effort turns, making every adjustment feel intuitive and reliable.

Built to Withstand the Harsh Marine Environment

Marine environments throw saltwater corrosion, UV exposure, and constant vibration at your gear. That's why this wheel uses premium 316 stainless steel throughout—known for its exceptional resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in saline conditions. The cast spokes with an integrated hub eliminate weak points, ensuring long-term structural integrity.

Non-magnetic properties make it ideal for vessels with sensitive electronics, like compass-equipped sailboats, preventing interference that could throw off your heading. Pre-assembled for quick installation, it fits seamlessly with standard 1-inch tapered hubs, saving you time at the dock.

Ergonomic Design for Peak Performance

The 19-degree dish angles the wheel perfectly toward the helmsman, optimizing leverage and reducing strain on your wrists and shoulders. Three sturdy spokes distribute force evenly, enhancing stability under load. The formed rear face grip molds to your hands, offering superior traction in wet or gloved conditions—crucial for safety when spray flies or waves crash.

Boat owners rave about how this wheel transforms steering from a chore into a pleasure. Imagine confidently docking in tight marinas or holding course against crosswinds; the Power Grip's self-aligning bearings minimize backlash, giving you that pro-level feedback.

Tips for Installation and Maintenance

Securing this wheel is straightforward: align the tapered hub, hand-tighten the M12 nut, then torque to manufacturer specs for a rock-solid fit. For upkeep, rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure and polish annually with a marine-grade stainless cleaner to maintain that mirror finish.

Pro tip: Pair it with Lewmar's pedestal systems for optimal performance. Regular checks on the Power Grip bearings ensure years of whisper-quiet operation, keeping your helm as smooth as the day it was installed.
