Wiper

[Bob&Jilly]

My starboard wiper does have enough pressure against the glass and has a shorter range than the port.

I would be interested in a solution as well. When we had our orientation the representative implied it was common on the R-25. It would be nice to have the full wipe of the blade.

Great timing! Just came back from our first overnight trip of the year this morning, and our wipers were all over the place (we had a few laughs over it).

Is this a new issue or has it always been this way?

I'm not sure what year your R27OB is, but I'd start by checking the set screw that secures the wiper arm to the motor shaft. If it's not tight, that can cause the problems you're having. If your boat uses the Marinco AFI 1000 motor like our 2021 R27, the set screw will be under a plastic cap that where the wiper arm attaches to the shaft. The plastic cap will hinge up or you can remove it. Some leave it off permanently so it doesn't trap saltwater. Search the archives for more info.
