I do like how the wood matches the gauge panels, but problem is the OEM wheel is slightly off center on a straight heading and it bugs the $%@% out of me!

Now that's an easy fix....just put a phone book under one side of your butt while driving. Try to disregard your gauges though when you do this.

or

Take the wheel off and turn it one or two clicks (depending on where you marked it centered using a piece of tape) on the spline. Then put it back on. 8-)

Well there you go being all scientific again..... but I haven't seen a phone book in years. I do have a certain stack of "bunny" magazines, though I really don't want them on the boat. Will something like that work?

Het BigGeb, your boat is looking sharp with the steering wheel. I looking to fo the same. How/where did you get the center capsule with the Cobalt Logo?

Hello BigBlock, can you please share how you got the center capsule of the steering wheel to have a Cobalt Logo on it?

Mine was original from them with it. So it was already on it. But they told us to put in the order comments to say you would like to get it and they sent it. Pretty easy.

I keep seeing this picture and now I hate the stock gauges on mine. Damnit.
