Steering wheel

[Hightower]

I'm being a bit fussy, but..........I'm trying to get a 5 spoke ss 320mm dia steering wheel in WHITE? And it must be of the soft touch variaty.

I've found Rigid white ones and soft touch black ones and grey ones, but not in white!

Yes I know your going to say "that's a white one in the pic" and yes it is! But it is as hard as rock and very uncomfortable to handle.

You're allowed to be fussy when it comes to your RIB.

.........the best colour in the world. I've had 4 ribs (all Zodiacs) with the soft touch white style wheel and in all cases, they turn a darker shade of grey after one or two seasong on the water. I would add that I spend more money and time cleaning my boat than I actually do driving it, therefore you can be assured I've tried my hardest to get it clean. Stainless looks good - I'm going to upgrade this Spring therefore, if you want my old one you can have it.

Sean at MGA Watersports in Rochdale has these on the shelf - about £50 I think, however tell him I gave you his number and you'll get it for £60 01706 379669.

.........I'm aware of this, however it looks good so - nuff said

I guess you could always buy a nice fluffy steering wheel cover for it!

Thanks all, I thought that because they didn't do a soft one in white there might be a reason for it. Might go for black now, thanks MeMe.

The pic is my new outboard on some one elses RIB (a 6.5 Solent), will get transplanted in two weeks.

Thanks all, Andy
