Drummer Posted October 23, 2019 Report Posted October 23, 2019 Gang, does anybody know if an Edson power knob will fit (bolt, not strap) on a standard Pathfinder steering wheel? The OE knob is stiff and not at all friendly IMO. Thanks.
SCFD rtrd. Posted October 26, 2019 Report Posted October 26, 2019 My experience is that most after market knobs come with some round, plastic shims to accommodate most steering wheels.
HoneyB Posted October 26, 2019 Report Posted October 26, 2019 I have an Edison wheel and a Pathfinder (likely Gemlux) wheel. No it’s not a direct replacement for the knob no strap. I honestly think you buy the wheel or the strap on knob.

Looks like it's time for another upgrade That is why when I sold my last boat the OEM wheel went back on, and the Edison stayed with me. It is now on my pathfinder. It is a fair bet that the wheel will make it onto my next boat as well.
