Lewmar folding wheel saves space in the cockpit
We love our folding wheel. It looks great and it was easy to install and easy to fold and unfold.
Now we can walk around our wheel instead of stepping over and around it .

Great space saver
A great space-saver for smaller boats. So nice in the unfolded position and you really wouldn't be giving up so much compared to a version that doesn't fold. Just the convenience of saving some space is all I could ask for!
