Polyurethane Destroyer Wheel from Schmitt & Ongaro Marine © Schmitt & Ongaro Marine

The Polyurethane Destroyer Wheel from Schmitt & Ongaro Marine features a durable covered rim that provides commercial mariners and recreational boaters the positive grip needed for optimal control when running in foul weather. Ideal for OEM and aftermarket installation, it makes the perfect addition to RIBs, skiffs, runabouts and small workboats.

Available in 35.5cm and 40.5cm diameters, the Polyurethane Destroyer Wheel has five polished stainless steel spokes for maximum rigidity. The solid steel rim is covered in a molded black UV-resistant polyurethane that has the look and feel of leather. With finger notches and just enough padding to reduce felt vibration, it offers a solid yet comfortable grip. A 22 degrees dish provides sufficient steering clearance without sacrificing seating space. Fitting a 19mm tapered shaft, it comes standard with a black center cap. NMMA certified, Schmitt & Ongaro Marine Polyurethane Destroyer Wheels are available packaged for retail and in bulk with quantity pricing for OEM installation.

The original designer of the five-spoke destroyer wheel in 1965, Schmitt & Ongaro builds quality, innovation and value into each of its products. It offers a wide range of marine steering wheels, horns, control arms, windshield wipers and related accessories.
