Inoperable windshield wipers make it difficult to maintain a proper look-out when heavy rain and driving spray obstruct the view. Schmitt & Ongaro Marine Products offers a line of durable, long-lasting Standard Wiper Motor Kits with everything needed to easily replace faulty equipment.

Ideal for smaller recreational and commercial vessels, Standard Wiper Motor Kits are available with a single-speed waterproof or non-waterproof motor. Built to last, they feature a 304 stainless steel mounting plate, 6.35cm shaft and hardware, and a heat-dissipating powder-coated aluminum cover.

The sweep angle can be set to 80º or 110º, and the park position adjusts to right or left. The robust 12V motors will power up to a 35.5cm arm and 35.5cm blade with 5 Nm of torque.

The arms of Standard Wiper Motor Kits are durable black powder-coated stainless steel. The blades are natural rubber for maximum effectiveness and long service life.

Standard Wiper Motor Kits are available with non-waterproof or pre-wired waterproof motors. Both have arms that adjust from 28cm to 35.5cm and come with either a 28cm or 35.5cm blade. They have a limited 3-year warranty.
