Were Dino steering wheels OEM on Bayliner?

I noticed my Bayliner Capri has a Dino brand wheel. Just wondering if its OEM or aftermarket.

No, pretty sure they weren't OEM. I'll make a couple of calls tomorrow and get that verified. We're talkin' about the 85'?

Yes, its on the 85 capri. Its a black hub, aluminum (painted) 3 spoke, leather wrapped wheel.

I'll check mine this weekend Mark...its original..and I'm pretty sure its a Dino. I'll post after I check it out and let you know.
The boat, for the record, is the one in my avatar ('90 Capri w/ O/B)

Yea Mark - Dino wheels were OEM equipment for that year boat.

This morning I was working on the boat, looked at the wheel and noticed it says "Capri" in the center. Duh, I guess Dino was oem. I'm such a goof sometimes....

I checked my wheel out this weekend and as suspected...it was a Dino. Nice looking/feeling steering wheel actually.
The boat is a '90 Capri and it all stock and from what I've seen of other similar boats we all share this wheel design.
Hope this helps.

BAYLINER is still putting DINO's on the 07 line as well.

My 93 crusier has a BAYLINER wheel but I bet its made by DINO.

Not really related, but kinda funny, now i know where the steering wheel came from in my little lowrider s-10, a boat, it has a dino steering wheel and i knew it wasnt oem in that. Just came with the truck when i got it.
