They usually use the 15" 5 spoke on 13's but that is your preference. The shaft size is 3/4". The inside diameter of the cap varies by brand. Best would be to measure it exactly or send him the plastic one it comes with. Some have a set screw so being exact is not an issue.
There seemed to be only three I/D of steering wheel centers until I tried to buy a black Boston Whaler one off eBay and none were the right size. I know my wheel was factory because it came on my Montauk SE black powder coated like what was offered on that model. With that I made my third cap and it looks good but it's the only teak on board. Oh well, if that's the biggest problem with the boat I'm a lucky man. Fortunately y'all know the truth lol. Anyway I need the exact size so I can deduct a little for the set screw because a tad bit small is okay but too big by just a little it turns into firewood. There's no fixing it.
