Default Adding a wiper kit

My boat is aluminum and the windshield wiper works well. It is mounted
under the dash and the actuator goes though the bulkhead. But the panel is
only 3/16 thick.

I've read a few reviews and haven't been impressed.

Has anyone added a deck-mounted wiper system to their boat and been happy
with
it?

How long have you had it?
What make/model is the wiper motor?

Thanks

I have three AFI heavy duty setups on my boat and they are great. Be
sure to figure out what shaft length you need before purchasing. I use
the pantographic blades so they wipe a big, rectangular area.

Thanks! Any chance you have a motor model # -- I read some reviews on
westmarine (granted, not many) but they said they rusted up quickly.

No, have long since forgotten the model numbers, but you can just look
them up in AFI's catalog. West Marine branded products are cheap,
inferior versions that cost them a lot less and make them a lot more
profit. Stay away from anything branded for WM.

Since the boat was new. Most Northwest boats come with heaters and
windshield wiper. Would have to look under the dash and see if there is a
name.
