Windscreen wiper upgrade

[paul salliss]

Standard equipment and quality on my boat is good but one thing I don't like are the wipers. Can anyone suggest the name of a company that can change them for me please. Boat based Portsmouth.

Easy enough to change Paul, they just clip on - get some Bosch replacements from Halfords, and do it yourself - if I can do it, I'm sure you can too!

I have ROCA wiper system on my little Finnmaster boat, Paul, and the quality is excellent, and they do stainless steel arms:-

If you should really replace the whole thing (i.e. including motors and controls), I'd suggest to look at either Speich or Gallinea.
But if not, I believe that you're restricted to fit arms and blades of the same brand of whatever motors you already have.

If you can find a size large enough, I'd recommend PIAA silicon wipers. I've used them on my cars since I discovered them 12 years ago, they last far longer, don't squeak.

Not in the UK, sorry.

Another option is to coat the screens outside with Rain-X as this is a water repellent and most water drips off while you are moving and increases your visibility dramatically and reduces the use of your wipers.

Good shout, I am doing some maintenance jobs tomorrow and that was on the list and agree it's a good idea

Sorry Paul, thought it was just the blades you were after.
