New steering wheel x2

[MindBLOWER]

cmpulse beat me to it, but I also installed a new steering wheel too thanks to Mike @ Checkmate and CPPerformance for the adapters.

I called Checkmate and spoke to Mike. He called it a silver/black wheel. I beleive it is stock on the new boats. I ordered it over the phone for approx 80.00 and got it in a couple days. It came w/ a new hub mounted on it for the newer style teleflex steering which is standard on all Checkmate boats 97-present. My 97 had the old steering system w/ the square type shaft, so I had to buy a couple adapter pieces which I found @ CPPerformance to make it work.

$80 WOW The ones I've been eyeing are 100s. Thats why I don't have a new one.
I might have to make a phone call!
Thanks

I will let you know, I ended up spending another 80.00 in parts to make it work w/ my existing steering system though. You may have to do the same thing if you have the "older style" steering shaft like I have. I didn't mind though, It looks awesome, and feels great in your hands too. Way better than the factory white DINO wheel that was hard to keep clean and starting to crack.

I have the black dino wheel but its looking a bit outdated to the new styles.

Wow, that is a awsome looking wheel for $80.00! Did they offer other colors?

 

[MindBLOWER]

Not sure about that. Mike just said he had a nice looking wheel available for 80.00, and said you'll like it, its "good lookin", so I bought it sight unseen. Its nicer than I expected for 80.00

if you have 2011 factory boat and dino wheel, will this new one fit? if not, what do u need to make fit?

Should fit no problem. Newer boats (97-present) have teleflex steering w/ a tapered "keyhole" shaft. My boat must have been one of the last boats made w/ the older square tapered shaft, according to Mike @ Checkmate. You could call him up w/ your hull id#, and he'll confirm.

Steering wheel

Checkmate can special order them in other colors. They are considered the "Deluxe" steering wheel and the cost is $200 and it takes a couple of weeks to get one. That is what Checkmate told me.

 

[keith4216]

200? I like the $80 much better.

 

[Don's89 Senator]

That is one sweet steering wheel. I wonder how hard it would to install one on a 89??

 

[SippyRat]

200? I like the $80 much better.
