Limited Wiper Range

[Hank 325]

I have a 2018 Freedom 325 and the port side wiper has a very small wipe range - left to right it only wipes about 12 inches. It isn’t hitting either side of the window but only wipes the center 12 inch of the window. Any ideas how to widen the range of the wiper so it covers more of the window?

Thanks

I am sure you already figured this out but the adjustment is at the motor end so you have to remover the cover and work on it then replace and recall the cover. That is what I have as an issue on my 335 F and not tackled yet as it is the port wiper.
good luck

I replaced a wiper motor on a previous boat and had to widen the swing range. I don't remember the brand but I remember that I had to remove the cover on the gearbox and then it was obvious how to do it. There was a cam with several holes at different distances from the drive shaft. It was a simple matter of lifting the pin out of the drive link and move it to a different hole and reinstalling the pin. No doubt there are differences between brands but once you open up the drive works it should be simple unless your model is not adjustable.

Fixed mine. Removed both wipers. Eliminated front windows.
