Hold on the that wheel! You may find that you like it better than the small one. My boat came with 2 wheels from the PO as well. I love the bigger wheel since it makes steering with my feet and steering from the rails very easy. I also like to straddle the hump and stand on the aft benches to get a clearer view of the road. I wouldn't be able to reach the wheel comfortably if it was smaller. I can also stand in front of the pedestal and reach back over the pedestal to comfortably reach the wheel allowing me to trim the main or head sails. Particularly when singlehanding the AP is low on the port side and accessible from in front or behind the wheel but taking or giving control from in front is much easier when you can reach the wheel unencumbered. It is a challenge to get around the wheel. While underway we just step up on the port/stbd hatches. When not underway we remove the wheel and stowing it on a mount designed by edson specifically for storing the wheel on a pushpit rail.
