Steering wheel diameter for CD30MKII

[king11]

I want to replace the non-original steering wheel on a CD 30MII that I'm restoring. The wheel is a 28 in. diameter. I'll replace it with an Edson, but I don't know what size to buy. Anyone know the diameter of the original Edson wheel on this model CD? I tried Robinhood, but they couldn't help.

Edson might have a spec sheet for the steering mechanics of the boat. They do for the 36.

The original teak wheel on my boat was 20" in dia.
The new Edson stainless Destroyer wheel for pededstal conversion is 22"

Hi

I own a MkII and will measure the wheel tonight. Its more a personal thing. I find that It needs to be large enough to reach when sitting on the combings so I can steer from the side but small enough that I can pass by it easily on my many trips forward. The one I have is both too big and too small.

FWIW mine is teak and while beutiful its a pain to maintain. I would go for all SS if I had to replace it.

Fine choice of boat to rebuild. You will be happy with it.

Edson doesn't have a spec for the MkII. The CD 30, yes, but not for the MkII. The CD30 takes a 22in. wheel. I think the MkII was the first model with the T configuration cockpit, which will accommodate a larger wheel.

Finally got to measure last night, mine is 30" in dia.

Thanks Boyd for going to the trouble to measure your wheel. I'll order a 30 in. stainless from Edson.
