I have a stock 2001 221 with the destroyer wheel. Want to change it up to a three-spoke. Any recommendations as to brands, sizes, and mount details. It looks like you can pay big bucks for one of these three-spoke wheels but can also get them for roughly $150. Any and all advice is appreciated. Merry Christmas to all on CM! Chris

Sorry for the sideways picture - but you get the idea!
I put a three spoke on and love it! I think it totally changes and updates the look of the center console!
I bought a Schmitt wheel at West Marine. I really like the look of the wheels at Gemlux... take a look at http://www.gemlux.com/catalog/steering-3spoke

Thanks to both of you. Now for another stupid question or two.
What size nut would a 2001 221 use?
Are the wheels (and the mount) specific to a certain type of steering system or engine type?
Our boat is powered by a 2001 Mercury Opti - sea star steering.
Thanks!!

shaft depends on your helm type so best to remove your wheel to find out before you order one. I had one of those three spoke defender wheels with the knob and liked it. I would start soaking your current help nut in PB Blaster or some other type of penetrating oil.
