Schmitt Marine Steering Wheels Windshield Wiper Blades & Arms

Schmitt Marine Windshield Wiper Blades & Arms

When visibility on the water is critical, the wiper blades and arms protecting your windshield need to be every bit as capable as the conditions are demanding. Schmitt Marine — the brand behind the trusted Ongaro Marine wiper system line — brings the same level of craftsmanship to its wiper blades and arms that has made it an industry fixture for over six decades. These aren't automotive afterthoughts repurposed for the water; every component is engineered specifically for the marine environment.

The Ongaro Deluxe Line: Built for the Sea

Schmitt Marine's wiper blades and arms fall under the well-regarded Ongaro Deluxe product family. The Deluxe Stainless Steel Wiper Blades feature a black powder-coated stainless steel frame paired with a natural rubber squeegee element — a combination that resists the corrosive effects of salt air and spray. One of the most practical design features is the use of replaceable blade inserts, which means boaters can refresh worn rubber without replacing the entire blade assembly. Each blade also ships with three adapters, giving it broad compatibility with Ongaro Deluxe arms as well as most competitive wiper arms already installed on your vessel.

On the arm side, Schmitt Marine offers pantograph-style wiper arms constructed from black powder-coated stainless steel, featuring a heavy-duty stainless steel spring for consistent blade pressure across the full sweep. The arms are designed for straightforward installation and are engineered to replace most competitive arms via a standard 5/8" shaft connection.

Sizing and Compatibility

One reason Schmitt Marine's wiper system components are so popular among boat builders and refitters alike is the breadth of available sizing. The Deluxe blade line spans from 11 to 24 inches in length, while adjustable arms are available in two ranges — 12 to 18 inches and 19 to 24 inches — accommodating everything from compact center consoles to large cruiser windshields. Whether you are matching components to an existing Ongaro motor setup or mixing with hardware from another manufacturer, the adapter-inclusive design minimizes compatibility headaches.

Marine-Grade Standards You Can Trust

Schmitt Marine products are type-accepted by the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) and carry CE registration, reflecting a commitment to quality control that matters when you are offshore and dependent on clear sightlines. The brand also backs its wiper arms and blades with a three-year warranty for original consumers, which speaks to confidence in the durability of the materials used.

For boaters who want to build out or upgrade a complete wiper system, these blades and arms are designed to integrate seamlessly into the broader Schmitt Marine ecosystem — including motors, control boxes, and wash systems.
