How to Choose Marine Window Wipers?

A reliable marine window wiper system can make a world of difference in your driving experience. When you're navigating in a foggy water environment or sailing on a rainy day, and your view ahead is "all blurry", making it hard to judge the conditions and potentially jeopardizing safety, you'll wish you could remove the windshield and decide to install an effective wiper system. So, how do you choose the right marine window wipers?

Size of the Boat's Windows

Whether it's the windshield or regular windows, the key factor in choosing marine window wipers is to determine the size and shape of the effective viewing area. The larger the windshield, the longer the wiper arms and blades need to be. The length range of marine window wiper arms and blades varies from 10 inches to 40-50 inches. 

It should be noted that the actual area that needs to maintain a clear view is usually smaller than the overall area of the glass. If you don't need to keep the entire window clean, you can choose a smaller wiper system according to the required area, thereby controlling the cost of the solution.

Where is the Marine Window Wiper Motor Installed?

The marine window wiper motor is typically installed above or below the window. Depending on the application, the motor can be installed inside or outside the boat. The position of the motor usually depends mainly on the part of the window that needs to ensure a clear view. Other factors include ease of installation and maintenance. In some cases, the external design of the boat also needs to be considered.

Control System of Marine Window Wipers

Controlling marine window wipers is usually no longer just a simple "on" or "off." Many marine window wiper systems feature high/low-speed dual-speed motors; control devices can achieve dual-speed continuous and intermittent operation of the wipers. If a washer system is installed, the wipers can be cleaned by pressing a button. You can choose to use a separate switch or a full-function control panel with an LED display to identify which motors are running and at what speed. The panel and switches can synchronize the wiping action of multiple individually activated marine window wipers.
