Mine showed up and is even nicer than I expected! Now hopefully it won't be too hard to remove the old one.

Take some pre-workout so you can yank that old one off! Offer a friend some beer to come help!

Well after about 20 shots of PB blaster and hitting with a hammer, it still won't budge. Going to try a puller in the morning I guess.

On my last two boat I just unbolted the wheel from the adapter and bolted the new one on. I never even tried to remove the adapter.

On these new wheels you guys are getting, it looks like you could remove those 3 exposed bolts to remove the hub cover? If that's the case, it will be a MUCH easier installation.

Well tried a puller with no luck. A few more shots of PB blaster and one really frustrated swing of the hammer did the trick!

Wow I was wondering if you took the nut off

PB Blaster is reffered to as Monkey Piss in my family... I have no idea why

Wheel matches perfect! Looks like it came from the factory that way.

Thanks! Definitely fits the boat more than the stock one.

For folks that bought steering wheel upgrades before you could get them with the factory logo, I made a limited run of these. They'll be on my website as soon as the 3m double sided adhesive arrives. Not making any money on these - just covering expenses.. Considering the steering wheel mfr is probably not abiding by Cobalt's rules on usage of the logo, I'm hoping that Cobalt doesn't feel the need to harrass me over a couple dozen steering wheel emblems. They're .032" aluminum with the logo laser etched.
