Folding Steering Wheel

Have the best of two worlds — steering control when you need it, and comfort when you don't. Conventional wheels significantly restrict your cockpit space, but the Lewmar Folding Wheel opens up that space - allowing unimpeded passage past the wheel. Ideal for a wide range of yachts, including those with twin-wheeled layouts. Perfect for weekends on the hook.

The Folding Wheel has a two-turn, buttress-threaded, split-spoke design, and a unique hinging system with fast-action handgrip release. This allows you to easily fold and unfold the wheel, using a simple twist of the composite handgrip.
A safe and secure locking system ensures the boater of a reliable steering wheel when it is needed.

At a fraction of the cost of custom versions, the Folding Wheel is appealing to both production boat builders and owners looking to improve their deck layouts.
