Have you tried the Nordic Tugs factory? They can probably send you one or give you their source.

I would like to replace the lock nut on the wheel of my 2007 NT32.  It has been removed so many times (access for electrical work) that it is wearing out (both the outside surface and the nylock).  The socket that I use is 15/16 inches, but I wonder if perhaps the nut is metric and it is worn because the wrong size has been used?  Does anyone know?

And does anyone have a source for this nut?

Look at Steering Wheel Nuts on the Edson Marine site. They have a couple of sizes, bronze or polished stainless steel. Not cheap, but high quality. You might have spend a couple minutes looking on their site to find them.

Merry Christmas. A good boat gift.
