New wiper blades shrug off extreme conditions

by Schmitt Marine 29 Sep 2023 16:21 BST

Salt, grime and UV rays degrade regular marine windscreen wiper blades, making them prone to streaking and chattering. Built to shrug off extreme conditions, new Deluxe Stainless Steel Wiper Blades from Schmitt Marine provide the clear view needed to maintain a proper lookout. They debut at IBEX, 3-5 Oct., Tampa, Florida, USA, booth 3-1831.

Deluxe Stainless Steel Wiper Blades start with premium black powder-coated stainless steel frames for low maintenance and a long service life. They help the natural rubber blades maintain an even pressure across their entire sweep. Each comes with two adapters to fit all Ongaro Deluxe Arms as well as many wiper arms from other companies.

Schmitt Marine Deluxe Stainless Steel Wiper Blades accommodate windscreens on virtually any recreational or commercial vessel. They're available in eight lengths: 27.9cm, 30.4cm, 35.5cm, 40.6cm, 45.7cm, 50.8cm, 55.8cm and 60.9cm, and are sold in pairs.

Beyond the Deluxe Stainless Steel Wiper Blades, Schmitt Marine offers a wide range of premium wiper products. Its motors, arms, controls and switches, washer tanks and spray kits provide OEMs and boatbuilders the ability to deliver an optimal windscreen clearing solution.
