The Primus Wheel by Schmitt Marine is a premium steering wheel designed for maximum comfort and durability on the helm. Crafted from high-quality stainless steel with a sleek black powder coat, it enhances any boat’s aesthetic while providing reliable performance for every voyage.
Superior Construction
The Primus Wheel is meticulously manufactured using a unified investment casting process that includes the integrated ring, ensuring unparalleled strength and integrity. Constructed from 316L stainless steel, it is polished to a mirror-like finish, offering superior corrosion resistance and requiring minimal maintenance.
Exceptional Durability
Certified to exceed industry standards, the Primus Wheel is NMMA type-accepted and CE certified, surpassing ABYC P-22 and ISO 8848 standards. This robust construction guarantees long-lasting performance, making it a dependable choice for marine applications.
Ergonomic Design for Comfort
Available in 13.5″ and 15.5″ diameters, the Primus Wheel features a slightly thicker rim at 1–1/8″. This larger size reduces hand fatigue, providing all-day ergonomic comfort. The UV-resistant black Santoprene™ rubber offers an excellent grip and weather-resistant performance, ensuring seamless control even in harsh conditions.
Stylish and Functional Design
The Primus Wheel boasts a visually striking design that complements any helm décor. The black Santoprene™ rubber contrasts elegantly with the polished stainless steel, while the finger grips extend through the rim for a secure hold. The contiguous Santoprene piece under the spoke junction ensures a smooth, ergonomic fit without compromising on style.
Versatile Spoke Configurations
Choose from three spoke configurations to match your preferences and boat’s interior:
- Slotted with decorative Santoprene inserts
- Open slots
- Solid spokes
All edges are designed with a slight radius for enhanced comfort while maintaining a defined appearance.
Optional Control Knob
Enhance your steering experience with the optional stainless steel Control Knob. Positioned 3/4″ from the rim edge on a spoke, it ensures no interference with controls or helm space. Featuring glass ball bearings, the knob resists corrosion and offers a lifetime of smooth, free-spinning action without visible protruding fasteners.
Easy Installation and Compatibility
The Primus Wheel incorporates the industry-standard 3/4″ tapered hub, making it compatible with all steering systems. The durable stainless steel center nut ensures a secure fit, with optional styles available to suit your specific setup.
