Lewmar Power Grip Carbon Fiber Wheel

Experience Unmatched Control on the Water

Imagine slicing through choppy seas or gliding effortlessly during a leisurely cruise, your hands firmly planted on a wheel that feels like an extension of your instincts. The Lewmar Power Grip Carbon Fiber Wheel transforms steering into an art form, blending cutting-edge materials with ergonomic mastery. Unlike heavier aluminum or plastic alternatives, this wheel leverages the power of carbon fiber to deliver featherlight responsiveness without sacrificing robustness—perfect for those moments when split-second decisions matter most.

Crafted for serious mariners who demand precision, its 3-spoke configuration channels force directly where you need it, while the thoughtfully sculpted underside finger grips ensure your palms stay locked in, rain or shine. Every turn feels intuitive, every maneuver confident, elevating your boating from routine to exhilarating.

Engineered for Peak Performance and Comfort

What sets this wheel apart is its obsession with the details that real boaters notice. The high-strength carbon fiber construction slashes weight by up to 40% compared to traditional wheels, reducing helm fatigue on long passages. A high-gloss, UV-resistant lacquer shields it from relentless sun exposure, maintaining that showroom shine season after season.

• Rear EVA molded inserts: Soft yet grippy, these provide a secure hold even with sweaty hands or gloves, minimizing slippage during high-speed runs or tacking duels.
• Deep-dish profile: At 22 degrees on the 13-1/2-inch rim, it pulls your arms into an optimal position, easing shoulder strain and improving leverage for effortless control.
• Non-magnetic design: Ideal for vessels with sensitive electronics like compasses or modern autopilots—no interference, just pure navigation reliability.
• Billet 316 stainless steel hub: Machined from solid stock for corrosion resistance in saltwater environments, ensuring longevity where others falter.

Pre-assembled with a smooth ball-raced Power Grip knob, it's ready to mount straight out of the box, compatible with standard 3/4-inch tapered shafts for hassle-free upgrades.

Why Carbon Fiber Reigns Supreme for Marine Steering

Carbon fiber isn't just a buzzword—it's a game-changer in marine applications. This wheel harnesses its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, allowing for a slimmer rim profile that enhances feel without vulnerability. Boaters upgrading from bulkier wheels report sharper feedback from the rudder, quicker recovery from broaches, and noticeably less effort in heavy weather.

Picture this: You're racing in a regatta, wind building to 25 knots. Traditional wheels flex and fight back; this one stays rigid, transmitting every nuance of the water below. For cruisers, the lightweight build means less stress on your pedestal bearings, extending their life and keeping maintenance low.

Real-World Versatility Across Boat Types

From sleek sport yachts to rugged offshore fishing boats, this wheel adapts seamlessly. Sailors love its tactile precision for fine-tuning sails, while powerboaters appreciate the ergonomic dish that accommodates standing or seated helms. Its non-slip grips perform in wet conditions, and the durable finish laughs off spray and salt crystals.

Maintenance is straightforward: a quick rinse with fresh water after use, occasional polish for the lacquer, and it's good as new. No special tools needed, making it a smart choice for DIY enthusiasts or busy captains.
