I'm holding the old wheel for when I trade this up for a larger Sea Ray....I'll take the Edson with me.
That is in fact velcro holding the OEM wheel nut cover on the old wheel.
Generally all new wheels fit on the same single threaded shank. What one usually needs are adaptor plugs to fit...

Interesting thing about the Sea Ray Wheel is that on my model the center part pops off to reveal the wheel nut. I first had pried off the center logo before...

I'm wondering if it might be better to wire an extra ac outlet in the engine compartment to plug into, off of a new breaker, vs. taking the heater directly to the...
From the search engine I noted that Dave S. at least has installed this unit on his 260. Looking for suggestions where to mount and lessons learned. Photos especially.
Dave S. I have it on order now. $300 for the 300W including shipping. Should arrive in a week or two so I can start...
