What Is This Steering Wheel Used For?

The Ultraflex V32 provides manual steering input when fitted to a compatible marine steering helm. It is suitable for new installations or as a replacement for an existing steering wheel with the same standard 19mm / 3/4in tapered hub fitting.

Its reduced 335mm diameter can suit installations where dashboard space or clearance around instruments and controls is limited. The available black and white versions allow the wheel to be matched to different helm-station colour schemes without changing its dimensions or fitment.

The steering wheel does not determine the engine-power capacity of the steering system. The helm, mechanical steering cable or hydraulic steering components must remain within their individual manufacturer ratings.

What Is Included?

The Ultraflex V32 steering wheel is supplied with:

• Selected black V32B or white V32W steering wheel
• Standard 3/4in tapered mounting hub
• Centre cap

Not included:

• Mechanical or hydraulic steering helm
• Mechanical steering cable
• Hydraulic steering components
• Dashboard mounting components for the steering helm

Which Steering Helms Are Compatible?

The Ultraflex V32B and V32W are designed for compatible marine steering helms with a standard 19mm / 3/4in tapered steering-wheel shaft.

Before ordering, confirm:

• The helm has a standard 3/4in tapered shaft
• The dashboard provides clearance for the 335mm wheel diameter
• The installation provides clearance for the 92mm dish depth
• The existing helm shaft and retaining hardware are serviceable
• The wheel can turn through the complete steering range without contacting nearby controls, instruments or the dashboard

Compatibility is determined by the helm-shaft dimensions and taper rather than the steering-system brand alone.

Which Model and Colour Options Are Available?

• V32B / 35458X: Black hard-touch thermoplastic grip
• V32W / 35509R: White hard-touch thermoplastic grip

Both versions have the same 335mm diameter, three-spoke thermoplastic construction, 92mm dish depth, included mounting hub, included centre cap and standard 3/4in tapered fitting. The only stated difference between the two models is the grip colour.

Dimensions and Fitment

• Overall diameter: 335mm / 13.2in
• Dish depth: 92mm / 3.62in
• Dish measurement: Rear of hub to underside of wheel rim
• Hub taper: 19mm / 3/4in
• Number of spokes: Three
• Shape: Dished circular
• Hub: Included
• Centre cap: Included
• V32B colour: Black
• V32W colour: White
• Helm compatibility: Compatible standard marine helms with a 3/4in tapered shaft

Construction and Design

• Thermoplastic anti-shock grip and spokes
• Hard-touch thermoplastic grip
• Three-spoke sports-wheel design
• Composite, non-metallic wheel structure
• Reduced 335mm wheel diameter
• Dished circular profile
• Included mounting hub
• Included centre cap
• Black and white colour options
• Designed for standard marine helm installations

The thermoplastic anti-shock material forms the grip and spokes into a rigid composite steering-wheel structure. Its reduced diameter can provide additional clearance compared with larger marine steering wheels, subject to the dimensions of the dashboard and surrounding controls.

The included hub allows the wheel to fit a compatible standard tapered helm shaft without requiring a separate steering-wheel hub.

Standards and Certifications

Ultraflex states that the V32 steering wheel meets the following standards and requirements:

• EN 28848
• EN 29775
• ABYC P22
• UKCA requirements

The manufacturer lists the following certifications:

• CE
• NMMA
• UKCA

Installation must still comply with the instructions and operating limits supplied with the steering helm and the complete steering system.

Installation and Use

Confirm that the steering helm has a standard 19mm / 3/4in tapered shaft before installation. The wheel must seat correctly on the taper without movement between the hub and shaft.

Secure the wheel using the shaft key and retaining hardware specified by the helm manufacturer. Do not force an incompatible hub onto the shaft or modify the taper to make it fit.

After installation, turn the wheel through the steering system's complete range and check that:

• The wheel does not contact the dashboard, instruments or controls
• The helm operates smoothly through its full travel
• The wheel remains securely seated on the tapered shaft
• There is no abnormal movement between the hub and helm shaft
• The centre cap is correctly secured
• The steering system reaches both limits without binding

Marine steering is a safety-critical system. Worn shaft keys, retaining nuts, helm shafts or other steering components must be replaced before the boat is used.
