Introducing our New 11″ Stainless Steel Destroyer Wheel with Control Knob

DESTROYER WHEEL MAKES TURNING EASY WITH CONTROL KNOB 

C

For ease of maneuvering, nothing beats a wheel control knob, especially in wet weather or when one hand is needed for the throttle. Schmitt & Ongaro’s new 11″ Destroyer Wheel comes complete with this must-have feature.

Smaller in diameter than a standard wheel, it serves well in tight and restricted locations. Ideal for any boat, it’s perfect for center consoles, fly bridges, RIBs, runabouts, crabbers and skiffs. When mounted on a stern helm station, it makes backing down safe and easy.

Crafted of strong, superior-grade stainless steel, the six-spoked wheel is highly polished for a low-maintenance, mirror-like finish. It’s ideal for both salt and freshwater. Its ball bearing knob spins even in the most grueling environments. With its black center cap and control knob insert, the 11″ Destroyer Wheel’s rugged good looks enhance any boat décor.

Developed for both refit and OEM, the solidly-built 11″ Destroyer Wheel with control knob fits a 3/4″ tapered shaft for ease of installation and maximum rigidity. With a 10° dish, it provides plenty of offset from the dash.

MSRP for Schmitt & Ongaro Marine’s model 1531111K-H Destroyer Wheel with control knob is $241.80.

Stainless Wheels Set Standard for Quality and Value

STAINLESS WHEELS SET STANDARD FOR QUALITY AND VALUE

             A vessel’s steering wheel is likely the most handled equipment aboard. The new stainless steel Vision FX and Vision Elite wheels from Schmitt & Ongaro draw the eye as well. They offer all the beauty, craftsmanship and value expected from one of the industry’s pre-eminent makers of fine marine steering wheels.

Schmitt & Ongaro sets the industry standard for saltwater cast wheels. An optimized manufacturing method makes the new Vision models significantly lighter, which allows Schmitt to provide even greater value to the customer, while still maintaining the high polish, strength and precision performance afforded by a premium wheel.

The classic three-spoke design has patented finger grips to ensure a comfortable grip and excellent handling power. Solid marine-grade 316 stainless steel Vision wheels carry a lifetime anti-corrosion warranty.

The Vision FX wheel features precision-machined flange bearings, and is available both with and without a standard capped control knob. For the ultimate in durability and sleek good looks, the Vision Elite model comes equipped with an all-stainless steel control knob, fitted with glass ball bearings for smooth spinning action.

As with all Schmitt & Ongaro wheels, the smooth knobs have no exposed locknuts, bands or bolts to catch on sleeves. Their position on a spoke rather than the rim promotes ergonomic ease while permitting maximum helm clearance. Both Vision FX and Vision Elite models come in 34 cm or 39 cm diameters.

These new products will be on display at the Marine Equipment Trade Show (METS) from November 19-21 in booth 02.216 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

So what’s new with us?

  • The next wave of VISION wheels is here!  The Vision FX and Vision Elite offer the Schmitt quality you have come to expect and the value you are looking for. The Vision Elite model with an all stainless steel knob, offers glass ball bearings for smoother spinning action, while keeping your favorite features, such as stainless steel, patented finger grips, and control knobs.  We are so excited about our new wheels, we even built extra spinning stands, so you can “test drive” more of our wheels when visiting our booth.

 

  • Our ever popular Ongaro trumpet horns, one of the loudest on the market, just got better.  We’ve kept the design you love, but improved the functionality by adding a drain hole to eliminate water.   Once you’ve seen it in action, you will love it even more!  Just follow the horn blast to our booth for a demonstration.

 

  • In our Wiper Products category, we’ve added a new Waterproof Heavy Duty Wiper Motor.   More powerful and durable than before; this new motor offers superior performance at an economical price.   This, and the addition of an all new Standard Duty Wiper Motor nicely rounds out our line of Wiper Motors.  We also have a whole array of new black powder coated wiper arms and blades awaiting your inspection in our updated category.

  • Grab Rails – Innovation of our existing grab rail with stainless steel construction and rubber grip. The stainless steel offers a terrific looking product at an attractive price.
