Marine Windshield Wipers and Accessories: Why You Can't Use Car Windshield Wipers

Car windshield wipers are made to withstand rain and snow, but saltwater is a different beast altogether. Here you'll find marine-grade windshield wipers specifically engineered to resist corrosion and maintain optimal visibility, even with spray and salt fog. From windshield wiper motors to washer fluid reservoirs, every component is built to last.

Don't underestimate the importance of a good windshield washer system. A large-capacity reservoir (up to 24 liters) and an efficient pump allow you to quickly remove salt from the windshield, preventing streaks and annoying glare. Always check the voltage compatibility (12V or 24V) with your boat's electrical system.

We offer an assortment of windshield wiper arms, both fixed and telescopic, to fit various windshield sizes. Always check the measurements in millimeters to ensure proper glass coverage. And if you need replacements, such as windshield wiper blades, you'll find them here, ready to ship.

The Nautica Basile Workshop Tip

• Annual Inspection: Check the condition of your wiper blades and the efficiency of the motor before each season.


• Original Spare Parts: Use only marine-specific spare parts to avoid corrosion problems and ensure maximum durability.


• Correct Installation: Make sure the wiper arm is properly secured to prevent vibrations and malfunctions.

Complete your cleaning system with our bilge pumps for a boat that's always dry and safe. And don't forget to protect your engine with our fuel filters.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a marine windshield wiper and a car windshield wiper?

Marine windshield wipers are constructed with marine-grade corrosion-resistant materials such as AISI 316 stainless steel and special plastics. The motors are sealed to protect against moisture and saltwater. Car windshield wipers are not suitable for the marine environment and deteriorate quickly.

How do I choose the right windshield wiper for my boat?

Consider the size of your windshield, the voltage of your electrical system (12V or 24V), and the typical weather conditions in your navigation area. If you often navigate in rough seas, choose a model with a telescopic arm and durable blades.

How often should I replace my windshield wiper blades?

Windshield wiper blades should be replaced at least once a year, or more frequently if you notice streaks on the windshield or signs of wear. Exposure to sun and saltwater accelerates the deterioration of the rubber.
