After market spinner knob

[MarkA]

I'm looking for a spinner knob for my wheel. I'm tired of working so hard lock to lock when backing in. Anyone have any experience with the Edsons? Worth the extra $$? Any particular model stand out?

I put one on each helm station & love them. Our slip is a little tricky to get into, and having a suicide knob available on either wheel makes things immensely easier. Quick install & trouble-free through the first season.

I put one of these on about 10 years ago, the thing is great. Zero problems.

I have had an Edson on two different boats. It's a 'must have' in my opinion.

Cheers

I threw one of these on from amazon, $14 Had to add some electric tape to make it fit snug.

:shock:
Edson makes three knobs so my question is which one do you use and which one do I want.
thanks,

That's one of the things I was wondering. I know you get what you pay for, but is there $80 difference between an Edson and that Amazon one? I do like the stainless and the mount is very clean looking so I'm willing to go the extra bucks.

I bought a Amarine 316 stainless spinner on Amazon for $14. After 3 years still love it. Well made and a necessity for docking in my slip.

Amarine - Just bought some nice 15 and 30 degree 316 stainless rod holders. Real nice stiff for a great price!!

The Edson SS knob is well worth the $
