Bruce, While the wheel is made by Edson, this aluminum Diamond Series wheel may not be a direct replacement for Steel Destroyer wheels. The majority of Destroyer Wheels fit a wheel shaft 1” diameter, 1/4” key and a hub width of 2 3/8”. From 2001 and later, Edson switched to a tapered wheel shaft with a through shaft wheel brake. Check the specs on this wheel as many boats with oversized wheels had special steering shafts custom made for the boat. This wheel would fit an early model J120 or J105 though... Chuck Gilchrest
