While returning to marina in Erie recently, I ran into a very thick fog bank that reduced visiblity to less than 100 yards. Navagating wasn't a problem, but I was sure severely puckered up for fear of a collision. The view through left windshield was 0, for all practical purposes. My 2014 208 Adventure has only a right wiper of course. The question is, has anyone installed an additional wiper and what all is involved? I would be very grateful for any recommendations or advise that anyone might offer. Thank you.

When I look at the way mine are installed, it would seem it is not a real difficult thing to do. You can measure the location of your existing wiper motor where it comes through the hull on the outside and find that same equivalent spot on the opposite side, then drill the hole per the motor specs. Mount it with some 4200. Run wires to switch.
Best thing to do here is look around at some like Grady's and see how they are mounted and you will be able to better envision what you need to do.
