Common Windshield Wiper Problems and YachtService.me SolutionsMarine wiper systems are more complex than those on vehicles, with waterproof motors, variable speeds, and synchronization systems. Our experts diagnose and fix all major issues to restore your system’s reliability.
1. Worn or Streaking Wiper BladesSalt and sun exposure cause rubber blades to crack and lose flexibility. We replace them with
marine-grade silicone blades designed to resist saltwater and UV damage.
2. Corroded Wiper Arms or MountsMetal components are prone to rust and corrosion. Our technicians
clean, coat, or replace corroded arms and mounts using stainless steel or anodized aluminum options.
3. Faulty or Non-Functional Wiper MotorsA weak or failed motor can leave your wipers inoperative. We perform full
motor diagnostics and replacements, ensuring smooth, consistent operation.
4. Wipers Failing to Return to Park PositionWhen wipers stay in your line of sight after use, it’s usually a sign of a control or synchronization issue. We recalibrate or replace the
wiper control module to restore proper parking.
5. Irregular or Noisy MovementJerky or noisy wipers indicate problems with linkage or lubrication. Our team inspects all moving parts, applies marine-grade lubricants, or replaces worn linkages.
6. Inconsistent Wiper SpeedsThis issue often arises from
power supply fluctuations or motor wear. YachtService.me technicians check electrical connections, wiring, and switches to stabilize speed performance.
7. Loose or Broken LinkagesIf blades don’t move evenly, linkage components may be loose or worn. We realign or replace linkages for
even, full-sweep coverage.
8. Water Intrusion in Motors or ControlsMoisture can corrode electrical parts and cause short circuits. We
reseal or replace components using marine-approved waterproof seals and protective coatings.
9. Malfunctioning Washer SystemsIf your washer nozzles fail to spray, we unclog or replace hoses and pumps to ensure proper cleaning performance during heavy seas or dirt buildup.
10. Incorrect Blade Size or FitImproperly sized blades can cause poor performance or strain the motor. We ensure all replacements match
OEM specifications for your specific yacht model.
