“I have my hands on the wheel more than any piece of equipment on my boat. Edson’s Comfort Grip Wheel is one of the most comfortable I’ve ever used. The positive no-slip grip really comes in handy with wet hands. And the polished stainless finish is impeccable, and coupled with a gold knob, my console has never looked better.”
Capt. Dave Cornell, Fishing Guide Buzzard’s Bay, MA
“Out in the flats it always seems I need three hands. The Edson PowerKnob lets me easily steer one-handed, leaving a hand free for the throttle, a rod, net, or to reach for my pliers. This wheel looks like a piece of jewelry, but it’s built like a tank.”
