Windscreen wipers?
Submitted by jng on Sat, 2013-10-12 07:55
Curious as to who actually uses thier windscreen wipers? (Hardtop with full windscreen) The new boats not to far away and was wondering if they are worth the hassle?
will you require a fresh water to squirt onto the windscreen in order for it to work?
Thanks justin

Without doubt
I just burnt mine out and replacement cost is apprx $550. Without hesitation it's done but I do a lot of hours and not a weekend warrior. If you only go out in the nice stuff, then it's a nice add on. If you come back in the occasional shitty southern, youll love them

I prefer to use Rainex, but then i dont like full glass windows anyhow. Wipers fitted on my Cruisecraft but ive never really used them.
Prefer clearrs across the top due to heat and rather be looking straight out in places like the islands
