I just found a six spoke stainless steel and mahogany steering wheel, it has a 1" taper to 5/8" with key way and a 3 1/2" mahogany center cap, then a 9" dia. S.S. ring (5/8" dia.) and another S.S. ring 18" dia. (3/4" dia) , and on the spoke ends is a 4 1/2" long mahogany handle for a max. size of 26 5/8" , this wheel looks old style (1950's (?) but never used (just like new)
I have been looking for days on the net for one the same, and I cannot find one.
Any one have any info. on this type of wheel please let me know. I was not able to put a photo on this site....
* I can email a photo to someone interested in helping me put photos on here.

Thank-you. Jim

Yep, need a picture. I will say that to me, what you are describing sounds more like '60's - '70's (but might be '50's). Much of the 1950's was sort of a transition period (wood to S.S.), but much of it (on better boats) were still the more traditional mahogany wood spoked wheels.c
