smelly use my measurement against your current seat position and height and see if you need to change the size to suite

Rod,
I notice your wheel is at a pronounced angle to the horizontal..

My wheel is much more vertical.

What is a cheap way of increasing the angle up of my wheel?

mine has a tapered spacer behind the boss, don't if it was ome or aftermarket

[Smelly]

Is this spacer tapered in such a way to bias the wheel upwards?

Is this wheel comfortable to use?

smelly, the wheel is ?glide(the sticker is old and stuffed like me), it's o.d. is 400mm the boss and base look like they may be the brand, it is 1983 hull with 1986 motor, my guess is you may be able to find something similar at aboat yard

Try BIAS, they will probably have one on the shelf. Just get some measurements if you can and the brand of steering box. I think you can turn the spacers around to tilt your wheel up, down, left, right, whatever you like.

Well doen gents! Will do..

Newchum, do u think this spacer has improved your handling and control of wheel?

[newchum]

smelly don't really know, but if the taper wasn't there the wheel would be on my knees

Davez, I dont have a steering box - as such - but rather the cables leading from behind the helm to the motor..

SHould I have a steering box?

Smelly

[davez104]

Yep, thats the bit I mean, the helm, behind the steering wheel thingy, you know what I mean, maybe.

Dave.

[Smelly]

I think I know what you mean - but when i look behind the helm - all I see is basically the back of the s/wheel mount with wires/cables going to rear..

No bulky steering box as such..
