Do anyone know the radius or swing I would need for the Hourston windshields, I have no idea on this??? Will it work?

I found another one, https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/346738416767081

Aha, what is the degree sweep and shaft length of oem's?

Give Pierre at Poco Marine a call. 604) 464-8773

He is one of Bennett’s authorized resellers in western Canada and his prices are pretty competitive too. I shopped around for my tabs in 2018 and his price was the lowest.

Its a slow grind to fix and repair I got round 1 done, hoping to get it paint/gel ready for Friday. I found a good supplier for rub-rail but it will still be north of $1000...

Airline equipment I worked on had Bosch or Morse OEM and subsequent aftermarket replacements, many of them you just pulled the cover off and you had about 5 choices for sweep degrees. I like the worm gear design and they would run all day and night in YVR rain and 35 below YEG. some you could buy plastic trim covers, Amazon sells complete motor arm wiper assembly's for like Razor side by sides for about $45 each.

this is acting strange, I reply to a post and it shows up in the quoted OP post...

Anyway, Ugly Boat Cheap Rub Rail

pls link me to the item as the boat did not have any motors when I got it so not sure what the oem specs are

Found a pair of 24"x9" trim tabs... anyone with cylinders and hydraulic pump not being used

Tabs, backing plate and hinge all cleaned up... before and after side by side

Honesty, RPM did it for me. They measured my windshield section and ordered/installed it for me as I only have 1 in the middle. Rainex for the other 2 as I don’t take on much water except for rain

Thx ya, im still looking for some hardware and railings,,, If I put the bridge back on... haha

Got the backing installed to receive the through bolts for rub-rail, just have to zip off the SS #8 x 1" screws... Material is kinda like a graphite/plastic composite that I had left over from a retail job so FREE is good and bent really nice!

It is much better than the original 1/2" x 1" plywood junk, this will not rot I also gel'ed before the install so I can finish the gel'ing the sides after the topside is installed

 

[EZZ70]

Also starting to do some more taping @ the stern, 3 x 1708 bi, to build up strength, kinda paranoid about the thought of bolting on a POD and possibly twins Ill probably do 5 or 6 layers in total i am thinking of adding a piece of 2 x 4 and glassing it to the transom from side-to-side for additional support...
