Steering Wheel Control
Mechanical wheel-and-cable steering for a console boat, with the wheel supplied as an option so an existing helm can be kept.
The Situation This Answers
The boat already has a console, or the operator needs to be forward with the working deck clear.
Four Steps From Boat to Specification

Five models, 80 LB to 180 LB, electrically identical to the N platform.

Add a throttle if the helm needs one separately
Handle throttle or side mount throttle, both listed for the W platform.
