Few things on a boat exude luxury as much as its steering wheel. The 14" Schmitt & Ongaro Marine Model 30 has a hand-feel suggesting a high-end automobile, but at a price that makes it the perfect complement to ski boats, runabouts, RIBs, pontoons and other small vessels.

The Model 30 is offered in a wide range of styles, each designed to match the boat's décor. Its three spokes are available in brushed silver or black with matte silver. The wheel's trim and highlights come in a choice of chrome or black. Additional decorative spoke sectors and inserts can be added for a one-of-a-kind appearance.

The center cap is available in black or chrome. With quantity orders, a logo can be added for the ultimate customization.

Schmitt & Ongaro's Model 30 wheel has a weatherproof and wear-resistant polyurethane grip with a simulated cowhide leather appearance. The rim is also available with sections of brushed silver or greywood. The material around the spokes is perforated with a soft, padded curve to protect the top of the palm.

The wheel comes with a 3/4" or optional splined hub. Schmitt & Ongaro's Model 30 marine steering wheel is fully assembled and prepped for installation. MSRP starts at $249.78.
