Marinco Windshield Wiper Blades & Arms
Marinco Windshield Wiper Blades & Arms: Built for the Open Water
When green water is crashing over the bow and visibility is everything, the last thing you want is a wiper system that fails. Marinco — a brand with roots dating back to the early 1970s and a hard-won reputation as a global leader in marine-grade hardware — brings that same engineering discipline to its line of windshield wiper blades and arms. These are not repurposed automotive components. They are purpose-built for the relentless punishment of salt air, spray, and UV exposure that boats endure every season.
The Deluxe Wiper Blade Line
At the core of Marinco's wiper offering is the Deluxe Wiper Blade series. These blades feature all stainless steel construction and a marine-grade silicone squeegee , a meaningful upgrade over rubber compounds that crack and harden in UV-exposed marine environments. Designed for use with Marinco wiper arms and installed via simple push-on attachment, they work well on curved or flat windshields and feature extra squeegee "claws" that spread pressure evenly over the length of the blade. This even-pressure distribution is critical on the wide, curved windscreens common to center consoles, sport cruisers, and express boats.
The Deluxe blades are available in multiple lengths — from compact 12-inch blades up through 24-inch versions — making it straightforward to find the right fit for everything from a small runabout to a larger cabin cruiser.
Stainless Steel Wiper Arms with Practical Engineering
Marinco's wiper arm lineup is equally well-considered. The Deluxe Adjustable Wiper Arm is offered in an adjustable length of 14”–20”, compatible with 11.5”–24” Deluxe blades, and features stainless steel construction with an “Articulating/Bend Back” feature to lock in an upright position for cleaning windshields. An additional set screw locks the wiper arm securely onto the wiper motor shaft — a small but important detail that prevents slippage under heavy wiper loads or high-speed operation.
For larger vessels or applications requiring maximum windshield coverage, Marinco also offers a Deluxe Pantographic Wiper Arm, compatible with Marinco 2.5”, 1.5”, and MRV motors, with straight-end wiper blade attachment fitting Marinco Deluxe or Premier blades from 11.5” to 24”, and the same articulating bend-back feature for easy windshield cleaning. Pantographic arms sweep a significantly larger area of glass than a standard single-pivot arm — a genuine safety benefit on wide windscreens.
A Cohesive, Matched System
Green water hitting windshields is brutal, and standard car wipers would snap like twigs — Marinco builds pantographic arms that sweep the whole window. That philosophy extends to how the blades, arms, and motors are engineered as a matched ecosystem. Marinco's wiper blades and arms are designed to work seamlessly with their own motor series — including the MRV and 1000 Series — ensuring consistent sweep force and geometry throughout the system. Mixing and matching unrelated brands can compromise performance; Marinco's integrated approach eliminates that guesswork.
Whether you're replacing worn-out blades before a season or rebuilding a complete wiper assembly on a refit project, Marinco's wiper blades and arms deliver the corrosion resistance, fit, and reliability that serious boaters expect.
