Boaters will have no problem maneuvering with a new Edson Pro-Series PowerKnob mounted onto their wheel rims. According to the company, the ball bearing wheel knob can improve handling on any type of boat, whether you're backing down on a fish or into a slip, maneuvering in tight waters, or just making quick, one-handed turns. They're conveniently made to strap or bolt onto nearly any type of wheel rim, even on off-road vehicles. Edson engineers designed these sleek, ergonomic knobs to be super-smooth in the roughest conditions. The Pro-Series PowerKnob is available in many colors, including stainless-steel, teak, black or gold, and it even comes with all the tools needed for installation. Prices begin at $44.95.
