Anybody replace theirs? Mine looks ragged, the washer/sprayer thingy barely works and is leaving a nasty rust stain down my cabin.
TIA,
SeaVee

Removed the seized motor and siliconed the holes.

One day I turned on the water pressure to check it out. Wondered why there was dripping in the cabin....

Clamped off the washer hose.


The wiper is pretty much useless on the 265 because the window is behind the console.

"Someday" I will rig the hose to be able to spray the eisenglass.

I bought the parts to replace the motor and arm for my 265 just before I sold it. However I never installed them. I ended up just passing the parts over to the new owner when I sold the boat. I got the part numbers for the motor and the arm directly from Grady. It looked like a fairly straight forward swap out. As said above not much use for it as the windshield was just too low on that boat.
