Intermittent Wipers

[tightlines]

Has anyone figured out a way to get intermittent wiper system into a boat? Why are boat wipers so atrocious compared to a car? My wipers are never synchronized and self park all over the map. I've google searched and never been able to find a decent solution. I'm suprised boat manufacturers haven't dialed this in yet. Someone in the sportfishing bc interwebs must have a solution....?

Did Two Guys And Their Fishing Rods inspire this? It's a good question.

I have thought the same thing so many times! Thanks for raising the question and I will definitely be following hoping some of these fine captains have a solution for us.

without a wiper transmission and a single motor, this will not happen

We used this style in a lot of industrial equipment. Choices for one speed, two speed and they park. Options for cheap Chinese too. Good strong motor that will pull a 30" blade and generally adjustable for sweep or sweep options and shaft lengths.

Wiper Motor, MRV, 12V, 2.5" Shaft, 80 Degree

The MRV Wiper Motor easily powers 22" x 22" deluxe arm/blade combinations, or a 20" x 20" premier arm/blade combination at sweep sets of 80 degree or less.

Everyone on this forum should buy you and the OP a case of beer. I have cursed marine wipers for their lack of intermittency forever. I will be buying one of these, thank you!!
