I have the largest wheel useable on a 33mkii… nice to able to sit “on the rail” and steer , plus leverage is better . Try it for season.

I'll second Josh, We have a very large diameter wheel on our 37/40 and it is perfect for steering from the rail. I'd try it for a while under sail before I got rid of it if I were you. https://goo.gl/photos/6v14RBHkHGMWCrV19 At times we also stand on the aft seats and straddle the hump and the large wheel makes this easy: https://goo.gl/photos/Mos5S7mgELRdbthb9 We take ours off at anchor and store it against the lifelines: https://goo.gl/photos/BiYVk8ab5FX6HtYT9 Ken Heaton & Anne Tobin S/V Salazar - Can 54955 C&C 37/40 XL - Hull # 67 Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia On 8 February 2017 at 08:10, Josh Muckley via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com<mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com>> wrote: 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. http://www.defender.com/product.jsp?path=-1%7C2331321%7C2331322%7C2331325&id=79873 Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+ Solomons, MD On Wed, Feb 8, 2017, 6:45 AM Bruce Whitmore via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com<mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com>> wrote: Our new to us 37/40+ had a very large steering wheel and the owner had the original which we reinstalled. I would list it on the new site for used gear, but I thought I'd start here. Look at the listing for a C&C 37/40+ in Marco Island for a photo. It is probably about 60 inches across.
