Windsheild wipers

[Prime Time II]

Wipers or no wipers ? Do most of you guys have windsheild wipers?I dont but have been considering installing a set .My boat did not have when i got it 4 yrs ago but did from the factory.Who has&and Who dont ?

Yes I have windshield wipers, but I am new to the DE boats and to the forum. I will keep them I'm sure!

Yes, I hate looking through a wet window. But I do spend ALOT of time with my fingers on the switch!

All I can say is I used to hate them but love them now that I have a blade that I can buy at an auto store.

I still use Rain-X but nothing beats a wiper when your coming around a shoal, trying to find a buoy. Before getting my boat under agreement I was thinking of installing them on all 3 of my windows just to open up the visibility in tight quarters.

Someone used to sell an intermittent switch, which was great, I thought I picked one off the shelf at West Marine but haven't seen it when I went to replace it, I'm sure you can find it somewhere.

I had wipers and washers installed but still use RainX as well. Imtra makes an intermittent wiper which works real well.

Any favorite reliable brands you would suggest?

No wipers (35 Duffy). I use RainX. The key is to apply it regularly, it just takes a few minnutes. I prefer the RainX over most wiper options I've seen.

i have been on the fence with this one for over a year now..i dont have a wiper but am thinking about it.. been using rain x for over 8 years.. works ok.. i have just found this other stuff called 'surf nano products'.. its expensive.. BUT i put it on once a season, maybee twice, not like once a week with rain x ..
when i first applied it, i only put it on the helm window, rain x the other 2... there is a huge difference after about a week of charter fishing...its pretty great stuff.. but still considering a wiper

for wiper motors, check out AM equipment on the westcoast. They got a steel gear worm drive, i built my son a power tractor with one, he kicks the shit out of it, its been up'd to 24V and has been really tough and is still going strong.

I've got wipers on all three windows, and use them all of the time.
