X,

Thx, but I am looking for 'testimonial type'info. I have reviewed just about every unit out there ( I think ). I want to know whcih one you ( or anyone else ) have and if it has lasted, or not.

Because, if I buy one and have to drill a bigger hole in my windshield frame, and it craps out after a season or two - well, then I'm married to that unit...

Abl,
Mine had the old hand operated type. Bought it at boat U.S. I don't think I ever used it, I just put it on tho keep it origional and fill the hole in the frame.

I've been out in my previous boat, at night in either rough seas or sheets of rain and was really glad to have a dependable wiper clicking away ! When I need to see an unlit nun buoy, I need to see it.

So, for me it's a necessity.

Ebeach,

Where the hell did you find that gem ? That must have been some UNbelievable web surfing you did.

It's great info ! I just wish that someone would build a great, exterior wiper motor from the start and this way you wouldn't need to know how to ripit apart and rebuild it. I have checked Ongaro - they seem like they have a good unit. I still have no clue as to which motor I will choose. However, I now know how to rebuild one down the road!
