Hmmm....I'm not sure, but I doubt that it's not a standard item. I don't think the boat makers were designing their own stuff for things like wipers and wiper arms.<br /><br />Take the old one off and head for the auto parts store. Betcha it can be replaced with off-the-shelf parts.<br /><br />How does the arm mount to the motor shaft?

Wipers usually come in two sizes, a 3/8" and 1/4" shaft sizes. Measure your hole that will tell you whats needed. Use a bolt to slip into the hole and you can order the approriate size. The whole shebang runs about $100 to $125. Usually the shaft slips through the hole and is nutted into place. and maybe some screws on the inside of the frame. Squegee... that's funny! I like that.
