Boat Windshield Wiper Replacement Services: Clear Vision and Reliable Performance at Sea
Visibility is everything when navigating rough seas or unpredictable weather. A properly functioning windshield wiper system ensures you maintain a clear view and safe control of your yacht in all conditions. At YachtService.me, based in Tivat, Montenegro, we specialize in professional windshield wiper replacement for boats and yachts of all sizes. Our team of skilled yacht technicians combines expertise with premium marine-grade components to ensure smooth, quiet, and reliable operation — no matter the weather.

Why Regular Windshield Wiper Replacement Matters
Yacht windshield wipers are exposed to some of the harshest elements in the marine environment — constant UV exposure, saltwater, humidity, and mechanical stress. Over time, this leads to corrosion, stiff movements, or complete failure. Replacing wipers regularly is not just about comfort — it’s about safety.

Here’s why it’s essential:
  • Clear Visibility: Essential for safe navigation in rain, spray, or rough seas.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Some maritime safety standards require functional wipers.
  • Prevent Motor Damage: Replacing blades before they wear out reduces strain on the wiper motor.
  • Preserve Windshield Integrity: Old or damaged blades can scratch glass, affecting clarity and value.
  • Enhance Durability: Using marine-grade materials prevents corrosion and ensures long-lasting performance.
Whether your wipers are streaking, slow, or completely non-functional, YachtService.me provides efficient solutions tailored to your yacht’s system.
Common Windshield Wiper Problems and YachtService.me Solutions
Marine 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 Blades
Salt 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 Mounts
Metal 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 Motors
A 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 Position
When 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 Movement
Jerky 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 Speeds
This 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 Linkages
If 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 Controls
Moisture can corrode electrical parts and cause short circuits. We reseal or replace components using marine-approved waterproof seals and protective coatings.

9. Malfunctioning Washer Systems
If 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 Fit
Improperly sized blades can cause poor performance or strain the motor. We ensure all replacements match OEM specifications for your specific yacht model.
