Installed new Helm wheel. I don't like it . Looks great BUT the actual diameter fake burl wood is too small. ITs uncomfortable to grip for long periods of time. Also the spokes aren't polished on the edges. So that is not comfortable to grab . Im spoke holder ( lol ) and apparently I turn from the spoke too . So I don't recommend this one . Im very sad !

Glad you posted this. It just saved me some money.
While I’m not sure if I’m a spoke holder (don’t think I am) the factory steering wheel is pretty comfortable and I would have been very disappointed if the new one wasn’t.
That wheel was on my winter list of things to do.
Just crossed it off.
Thanks!

Love the original wheel. Whish I could find a new cover for the spoke . That's all that's wrong with it .

If you do a little looking around online you may be able to find a place that reconditions steering wheels.
It’s been a while since I looked at it, but I know there are places out there that do it for classic car restorations. Maybe one of those places can help you out.
You could probably send them some pictures to get an idea of what they can do for you.
Here is an example of a couple that popped up when I searched google:

Steve,

I love that steering wheel! I'm looking to replace the one on my 2008 48 DA and was going to purchase one from FP Marine until I saw yours. Did you go through Marine Max? Mind sharing cost?
Thanks.

I bought it through this site directly. http://www.isotta.com/dett_prod.php?id=69
For the life of me I can’t remember the cost but I don’t remember it being ridiculous. They were great to work with and they make the wheels for Searay but they won’t sell you the Searay center cap. I bought a stick on emblem from eBay and it looks fairly factory. I get a lot of compliments on it. It was an easy change out. The old one was a little stubborn so I used my impeller puller and it popped right off. Took about 20 minutes total. It looks even better with my new Raymarine Axioms

Got this Victor Dino wheel off ebay for $165.00 W/slight imperfections. Cant notice to naked eye. 14” wheel. searayman13 on ebay has center caps on order for this. Needs 2-3/16 cap. What you see on silver spokes is cleaner i didn't buff off correctly. Lol
 
Did the 3 minute install yesterday.

I love the original throttle and gear box setup you have....I have my original, a bit uncomfortable on the throttle side. I wonder how hard they are to swap out? any ideas? I am upgrading the entire helm station from old electronics, dash etc etc...

Did you get that steering wheel directly from SeaRay? I’m trying to find the same exact one

Yes. I don't care much for our local Sea Ray retailer, so I bought through Marine Max in Ohio. I believe it's an L-Class steering wheel. ISOTTA makes most of Sea Ray's steering wheels, so if you can't find one you may be able to source one direct through them but it just won't have the Sea Ray emblem. They still make the same model though.
