The center window sash on my 38 had excessive surface corrosion and I suspected it to be the reason the wiper wouldn’t work. I was right. Problem came when I ordered a replacement motor. The original was not available. So I bought the AFI 1.5 series that was prescribed as the equivalent. Problem came when I went to close the windshield vent, the wiper motor bottomed out preventing the sash from closing all the way. Long story short, I contacted Marinco marine products and eventually wound up buying an AFI 3000 sealed wiper motor. It also bottomed out and I couldn’t close the window. Then I got the bright idea to just mount the motor up side down. It comes with an 80 degree sweep and a right hand perk position. Both are adjustable but it worked perfectly right out if the box.
