A Small Italian Shop with Big Ideas
Craft first, then innovation.
Gussi Italia's story starts in a family workshop in Italy, where steering wheels were built by hand for people who cared how a helm looked and felt. That attention to craft still defines the brand. What has changed is the engineering behind it — Gussi now pairs traditional design with electronics that put more control in the driver's hands.
The Gussi Difference
Customize the helm, down to the detail.
Gussi wheels are highly customizable across materials, colors, and finishes, so builders and owners can match a wheel to the rest of the boat.
Innovative Electronics that Set Us Apart
Murano Multifunction Display
The Murano Multifunction Display by Gussi Italia is a touchscreen display that can be installed conveniently on the center cap on select wheels. In combination with our Power Wings Sport, you can effortlessly take control; Your hands never have to leave the wheel.
The Murano Multifunction Display seamlessly connects with most electronic features on your boat. Control operations like speed, cruise control, ballast control, audio, volume, and more.

Power Hub 2.0
SYNTEC and Gussi Italia introduced their original magnetic induction PowerHub, which powered some of the first marine smart wheels and the groundbreaking PowerWings. Building on this success, we are proud to unveil the PowerHub 2.0, an advancement that takes magnetic induction to new heights.
The PowerHub 2.0 utilizes cutting-edge electromagnetic technology to wirelessly transfer power to steering wheels. This advancement not only supports our innovative PowerWings and patented Murano System but also introduces the industry’s first wireless heated steering wheel.
Traditionally, powering features like heating elements and complex electronics on a steering wheel required a hard-wired clockspring. However, in the marine environment, a clockspring cannot accommodate the high rotation demands of a marine wheel. With the new PowerHub 2.0 from Gussi Italia, wires are obsolete. The PowerHub 2.0 ensures unlimited wheel rotation and delivers all the power needed for complete helm control, free from the constraints of traditional wiring systems.
