DIY How to replace a boat steering wheel with a tapered shaft no puller!

I've recently acquired a 1977 Mckee Craft Cat Cay! I thought I would go ahead and give the steering wheel a little upgrade so I purchased a new one and put it on!
You can find the exact wheel here: amzn.to/3lvzty4
And the anti seize I use is: amzn.to/3Ii7Ktr (It's not cheap but its good stuff.)
You can find a cheaper alternative here: amzn.to/3HQXwix

I put the same steering wheel on my 17ft Whaler 2 yrs ago still looks great! beats paying $150 + for a comparable one at a boating store.

Nice! I'm glad to hear that! I was a tad worried about how long it holds up but this is reassuring! It sure does beat 150 plus for one like you said too! Are you in a saltwater environment?
