Big pantograph wipers

[Whitelighter]

Looking at a range of boats to buy, all between 5 and 12 years old. Thing is, while most have great big windscreens, most have pathetic small wipers which might as well not be there.

A couple of the boats have the room on the flat panel to mount a bigger base so I was wondering if it were possible to convert them over to he big pantograph style wipers that I had (briefly) on the W34?

They were bloody great and really shifted the water from the screen, and of course gave a big area as the blade remained vertical.

Good point, jrb1978. Don't know the answer but most boats are fitted with pathetic wipers which can't handle a modicum of spray and dissolve in a pile of rust within a season

They were very helpful in complete replacement for Ocean Tigress /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Exalto has a reputation in this field, also for custom solutions.

Those are the ones you're looking for. Used by all the big names AFAIK. Can do synchronised wiping with multiple motors, fully variable speed and intermittent etc. The rolls royce of wipers.

Jez, save your money, and just play this very loudly instead.

Hi Jez,

Mine go through the windows, and as they are a little more complex where they bolt on they need two holes. So as long as you dont need to mount on the glass you might be fine, but I wouldn't fancy drilling a second hole in the windscreen of a boat that had standard wipers.

 

[Whitelighter]

The boats that I am looking at (bar one) have a flat section or GRP in front of the screens where the wipers mount.

What I'd like is one of those arrangements where someone in jeans and a white shweatshirt comes round and wipes the windows for you.
