Manual wiper

[StabicraftMarine]

Guys, I just told one of product developers that I know a guy that knows a guy that will know a guy who does good manual wipers...

The boss is having a new 21foot console boat designed/built and wants to keep it simple with a manual windscreen wiper.

Anyone know a good example or supplier?

Thanks,
Tim.

I've been searching as I need one too......AND ALL I've seen and held seem cheezy. Either pot metal, too much plastic, or just plain filmsy. Searching Google for a picture is one thing. in the hand is another.

I've thought about adding one too. Question though: how well do these things "park" to the side AND STAY parked? ...or what am I missing?

Via "tension" I presume. That's why quality is a must have. I'm not into drilling any more holes in my aluminum, so if I do it better be for something really mandatory and of superior quality.

I had my boat built, got essentially everything I wanted. But forgot about morning dew, rain, and splashing saltwater on a big glass windshield!

Friend of mine had one installed and pulled it within a week. Like Jetty said cheap cheap cheeep

Yup, thats what we have been seeing. I'll let you know how we get on. The hull is in build so if we go ahead with a manual wiper, it will be on and tested around 15 Dec.
