I found the GW 3 spoke steering wheel with the integrated control knob. GW uses the 15" wheel.
Manufacturer is Schmidt. Model is 720, it comes with our without the control knob.
Part number is 7201521FGK with the control knob.
Part number is 7201521FG without the control knob.
It is a 316L cast wheel. 3/4" tapered shaft and stainless steel nut. You may need a wheel puller or might be able to get off with a rubber mallet and some tapping.
There is a 13" wheel offered if you want a little more room at the helm, but likely will require more wheel rotation to steer.

Thanks for the information. Very helpful.

Smaller wheel does not require "more rotation", just a bit more effort to turn due to the slightly smaller radius (i.e. lever arm).

I stand corrected - thanks.
I recall someone wanting to put an Edson knob on their stock wheel. An option is to change the wheel out and sell the stock one on ebay.
I did this on my 02 sailfish. Just saw the boat being winterized and the wheel and knob look perfect on it after 10 years.
You probably would out of pocket the same money and not have to worry about the know fit or loosening up over time.
