Common Concerns Answered
Is a separate on/off switch included with this wiper motor?
The Marinco 1000 Series Wiper Motor (retail version) includes a 5 amp fuse and holder, but a separate on/off switch is required for operation and must be purchased independently.
I've heard some motors draw a lot of current. How does this one perform under load?
This unit has a stall current of 9.8-10.0 amps, which is within expected parameters for its torque output. While some users report higher draw under extreme load, its 55 in-lbs stall torque is designed for robust operation on vessels up to 18" arms/blades at 80 deg sweep.
Is the sweep angle adjustment difficult to configure?
The sweep angle is adjusted by selecting from preset positions (50, 65, 80, or 110 degrees). While some users prefer a more continuous adjustment, this method ensures consistent and reliable positioning for various windshield configurations.
