The Story
Enhance your vessel's helm with the Carbon Fiber Primus Wheel, expertly designed for optimal performance and lasting durability. This steering wheel combines high-quality materials with thoughtful ergonomics to provide a superior boating experience.
Premium Construction and Materials
The Primus Wheel is meticulously crafted using a unified investment casting process, integrating the ring for unparalleled strength. Constructed from 316L stainless steel, it boasts a mirror-like polish that not only enhances its visual appeal but also offers exceptional corrosion resistance, ensuring minimal maintenance and longevity in harsh marine environments.
Ergonomic Design for Comfort
Available in two diameters, 13.5″ and 15.5″, the Primus Wheel features a slightly thicker rim at 1–1/8″. This design reduces hand fatigue during extended use, making it ideal for all-day steering tasks. The UV-resistant black Santoprene™ finger grips provide a comfortable and secure hold in any weather condition, while the smooth, contiguous design ensures an ergonomic fit.
Superior Durability and Standards Compliance
Exceeding industry standards, the Primus Wheel is NMMA type-accepted and CE certified. It surpasses ABYC P-22 and ISO 8848 standards, guaranteeing unmatched strength and reliability. The integrated CF Nut and 3/4″ tapered shaft ensure compatibility with all steering systems, offering a robust and dependable steering solution.
Stylish and Functional Aesthetics
The Primus Wheel features three spoke configurations to match your boat's interior:
- Slotted Spokes: Enhanced with decorative Santoprene inserts for a sleek look.
- Open Slots: Classic design that complements any helm décor.
- Solid Spokes: Minimalist style with a strong, defined appearance.
Edges are smoothly radiused for added comfort without compromising their distinctive appearance, making the Primus both attractive and practical.
Optional Control Knob for Enhanced Functionality
The optional stainless steel Control Knob is designed for ease of use and durability. Positioned 3/4″ from the rim edge on a spoke, it ensures unobstructed access to controls and ample helm space. Featuring glass ball bearings, the knob offers a lifetime of free-spinning motion without corrosion, all while maintaining a seamless, fastener-free aesthetic.
Easy Installation and Compatibility
The Primus Wheel incorporates the industry-standard 3/4″ tapered hub, making it compatible with a wide range of steering systems. The robust stainless steel center nut ensures a secure fit, and optional styles are available to meet specific installation needs.
Lifetime Warranty and Support
Schmitt Marine stands behind the Primus Wheel with a lifetime warranty, reflecting the product's exceptional quality and durability. Trust in a steering wheel that’s designed to perform reliably for years to come.
