R 25 windshield wipers ... Yuck

[NewMoon]

I know there has been discussion on this before, but I think you have to be set up originally to use pantographic arms, No?

I don't think so - the motor just moves back and forth. The pantographic arms include a fixed post with a ball end. This post is mounted on the boat a couple of inches away from the motor post. One part of the pantographic arm attaches to the motor post, and the other to the fixed post

Here's the motor we have:

Windshield wiper motor, HD waterproof, 80 deg sweep AFI 37180

Is there an easy replacement for these plastic covers on the wiper arm? All mine cracked and broke.

Insult to injury I would say. Besides the fact that the wipers don't work well the covers crack from exposure. I wish there was a better made replacement arm.

Have you used these? It seems to me that the lack of pressure is the problem.
