For about the same cost, you might consider shipping the wheel off to have it
coated in a tough plastic material--forgot the name its been so long!
It was a PITA shipping the wheel (UPS did it without insisting it be in a box)
and it is not as traditional as leather but it will never wear out--mine is
going strong after at least 15 years. I had it covered in the same color as the
hull.

Subject: Stus-List Re: Leather wheel cover Another thought used by my father
back in the day was to get two automobile steering wheel covers each ½ the
circumference of the boat wheel, cut each then glue together, use provided
plastic “thread”. Worked well and not expensive. As I recall they lasted
quite a few years . John Read Legacy III 1982 C&C 34 Noank, CT From: John

Subject: Stus-List Re: Leather wheel cover HI Chuck Installed the Edson
version on my 40” wheel about 20 years ago. Held up well and finally
deteriorated so replaced last year with Edson. I believe theirs is elk hide??

Subject: Stus-List Leather wheel cover Anybody replace their leather wheel
cover lately? I'm thinking of asking for a leather kit for my 52" wheel for
Chistmas. The Edson price is $380 and Defender offers a discount but thy are
out of stock. Boatleather.com wants $300. More if I add a foam liner. Are
there better sources? Chuck Scheaffer, Resolute 1989 C&C 34R, Annapolis, Md
