• Volanti Manta VN70552/01 steering wheel

Which Steering Helms Are Compatible?

This steering wheel is 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 and helm station provide clearance for the 355mm / 14.0in wheel diameter and 65mm / 2.6in depth
• The existing helm shaft, shaft key and retaining hardware are serviceable
• The wheel can turn through the complete steering range without contacting nearby controls or instruments

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

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. 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

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.
