steering wheel insert 3/4 shaft to 1'' wheel???????

silentfaith · Jul 15, 2016

hi......found a nice stainless steering wheel for my trawler.
this wheel has a 1'' hole but my steering wheel shaft is 3/4''

is there a way to fabricate some meat in order to fit or does someone make an insert?

Just went through the same thing. Got a piece of stainless tube and cut a slot in it the got some brass key stock and cut a new key, 45 minutes work.

All of the 3/4" steering shafts I've seen are tapered and most of the 1" shafts are straight. Is that the situation with yours?

Edson Marine used to make a bushing for this but I couldn't find it on their website. Give them a call on Monday. I bet they still make them.

Edson Marine A-459 adapter is what I used on my Capilano 250 steering for the same thing. Here is a link to their PDF chart.........

There are sleeves made in many common sizes to convert 3/4 to 1, etc. It comes as a sleeve with the key way gap and with an 1/8" or taller key as needed. I went from 1" to 1-1/4" on this boat.
A good machine shop will either have the sleeves, know where to get them or make one.
