The heavy-duty 12V marine wiper motor is engineered for reliable performance in harsh marine conditions, making it ideal for use on yachts and boats. It features a long stainless steel shaft that can penetrate thick cabin roofs or consoles, allowing secure installation even on vessels with substantial cabin thickness. The two-speed design offers flexibility between a slow wipe for light rain or sea spray and a fast wipe for heavy downpours or stormy weather. A built-in self-parking mechanism ensures the wiper blades return to the low parked position at the bottom of the windshield when switched off, improving visibility and safety by keeping the glass clear.

This motor offers adjustable sweep angles (83°, 100°, 110°, or 120°) that can be set internally. This means you can optimize the wiping arc to suit different windshield widths and shapes – from compact pilot house windows to wide panoramic windscreens. Its heavy-duty build and strong torque enable the motor to drive long wiper arms (blades up to ~400 mm) and handle the stress of high winds and heavy water runoff. For boats with dual windscreen panels, a single motor can be used in conjunction with a dual wiper linkage bar (Product Code 01427) to synchronize two wiper blades – a practical solution that saves space and cost by using one motor for two wipers.

This wiper motor is recommended for medium to large boats (approximately 20–33 ft in length) where powerful windshield wiping is required. The 12-volt version is standard for most vessels, while a 24-volt version (Code 01426-24) is available for larger yachts and commercial boats with 24V electrical systems. For installations in exposed areas (such as open cockpits or flybridge helms), an optional waterproof plastic cover is available (sold as a variant, Code 01694-2/24) to shield the motor from direct water exposure and corrosion. The motor’s housing is built tough to resist vibration and saltwater spray, ensuring long service life and dependable operation at sea.

Usage & Recommendations: This heavy-duty wiper motor is an excellent choice for captains who navigate through all weather conditions. It is ideal for helm stations on sailboats, motor yachts, fishing vessels, and patrol boats where maintaining a clear windshield is critical. When paired with a proper wiper arm and blade (stainless steel components are recommended for marine use), it will reliably clear saltwater, rain, sea spray, and debris from your windshield. For boats with two forward windows, you can either install matching motors on each window or use a single motor with a connecting linkage for dual wipers, depending on your boat’s design. Always mount the motor securely using the provided hardware and follow the wiring instructions – the motor draws about 1.5A (fast) / 1A (slow), so use an appropriate 3A fuse and a marine-grade switch. With correct installation and maintenance, this heavy-duty wiper motor will ensure clear visibility and safer voyages even in challenging weather.
