[David Knecht]

If you compare the Boatleather with padding with the Edson Comfortgrip  (what I 
have now), the Boatleather is about $100 cheaper with the thinner leather (I 
presume what the Edson is) and about $40 cheaper with the thicker leather.  I 
will likely go with the Boatleather and get the thicker leather with padding.

I ordered a DIY kit from boatleather.com and was very pleased with the
quality.  I also ripped out one of the holes in my quest to get it on
tightly and they sent a whole new cover without charging me, so I can also
say they stand behind their product.  It is a decent sized winter project as
indicated before, but the kind of thing you can easily pick up and put down.
I am going on season 7 with mine with no visible wear or other issues.

I’ll second boatleather.com.  Great winter project.  I went with the light 
leather and the pad option.  Feels great under hand...

I used my bicycle stand to mount the wheel which made stitching easier.

[Richard Bush via CnC-List]

 David, three boats ago, I ditched the wheel that came with the boat and 
purchased a 40 inch Lewmar folding wheel; I absolutely love it! I have moved up 
through three different boats, (a C 29, 33 and current boat-37); it has a 
leather cover that you don't have to do anything with and you will be able to 
walk around the helm station without twisting and contorting your body! An 
added plus...Christmas is coming...maybe drop a hint to Mrs. Claus...?
