iBoats has Teleflex Xtreme Mechanical Steering

[jdlough]

FYI,

iBoats just started selling the new Teleflex Xtreme Mechanical Steering. As far as I can tell, nobody else has it yet.

Special introductory pricing, about $160 to $190 off list price.

Re: iBoats has Teleflex Xtreme Mechanical Steering

I wanted my wheel to be tilted a bit, so I called teleflex, to see if their 20 degree bezel would work with the new Xtreme.

One Teleflex tech says it will work. He gave me Part # SB27483P. A different Teleflex tech says it won't work. I ordered the 20 degree bezel anyway. I'll let you know if it works.

I also wanted to know how much more cockpit room the tilt helm would take up, compared to the regular Xtreme helm. I mean, I wanted to know how much farther the steering wheel would stick out from the console with the tilt helm. The second Teleflex tech says only 1". Looking at the diagrams on the Teleflex site, that does not make sense. Anybody know?
