Hi,

I am looking at a steering wheel on ebay to buy but do not understand what they mean by "dished to 25 degrees". They have some at 25 and some at 10 degrees. Is that the angle from the center of the wheel to the outter wheel where the 10 degree one would be more flat than the 25 degree one?

Here is there text ad:

Offered here is a brand new stainless steel boat steering wheel. It is 15-1/2" in diameter. It is dished to 25 degrees and has a 3/4" tapered bore hub which fits almost all standard steering helm units.

Thanks

Warren

the outer rim is at an angle from the hub 25 * / the 10* is a flatter wheel. also on the bezel on the teleflex steering some are straight 90* other are 20* that tilt up a little. the top pic is a 20* bezel and a 25* wheel, the bottom is a 90* straight bezel, and a 10* wheel.

Thanks. I like the 10* wheel better being more flat.
