[StartQuote] [StartQuote] What a great photo, is it an illusion or does the lower left wheel spoke look like a cutaway to show construction? [EndQuote] This is a pre-565 boat (throttle on left), likely from the 486-563 series (shape of windscreen), and probably 558 (related photo in "Rocket"). It's hard to tell the condition of the grips from the journal photo. The real ones were Bakelite and bolted to the cast aluminum wheel rim. Time and rough use may have been hard on them and they may be broken in this photo. The grip at 3 o'clock seems to be completely missing, only the bolt remaining. Here's the photo from the ELCO parts manual: [IMaGe]http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i204/alross2/wheel.jpg[/IMaGe] Al [EndQuote]
