Does anyone happen to know if we have a "standard 3/4" tapered shaft"?

Speaking of steering wheels, why do they separate the horn from the wheel? I've always thought that it was weird to have a horn button off to the side instead of on the wheel itself.

It's probably required to be on the wheel in a car but in a boat it's not and it would add complexity (cost) to have a sealed switch that could take a water environment and the spinning of the steering wheel. Simple answer.....it's cheaper.

Where are you guys getting these steering wheels? I searched ebay and all I'm seeing is yamaha golf cart steering wheels. Just bought my 2004 SX230 used,and the steering wheel feels really aged. would like to get something nicer and newer.

Do you guys think this will bolt right up? Remove 6 allen head screws and screw this one on?
