Old to New Style Helm Wheel. - tcates1225 - 02-09-2019
Taking on a few projects over winter and I am interested to see if any one changed out their helm wheel with the newer Teak style that's on the Tiaras. I have a 98 3500 Open and have the all stainless wheel. But like the look of the newer ones. Last season we reupholstered the seats and replaced all the lighting. This year I would like to add some of the infinity woven mat (not glue down) and a new style helm wheel. Other then calling Tiara I cannot seem to find one in general searching. This one looks very close without taking the exact measurements.

Yes I have upgraded the helm wheel on my last 2 tiara's with the Vetus mahogany rimmed wheel. Pretty sure it is the same part Tiara uses. Kw45 is the 18" wheel in mahogany that probably best fits your boat. I went with a kw55 for my 43 open which is just under 22". Google kw45 or 55 and You should find some decent pricing. I think I paid around $300 earlier this year. Looks and feels fantastic.

Wonderful, Thanks for the information. I will take some measurments and see what size looks better. For just over 300 it looks much more modern for sure.
