Common Concerns Answered
Why isn't an on/off switch included?
This motor is designed for integration into existing boat electrical systems, allowing for flexible switch placement and type. Users can select their preferred marine-grade on/off switch or a multi-function control panel switch to best suit their helm layout and operational needs.
The motor seems to draw more current than expected under load. Is this normal?
While the motor is rated for specific current draw, heavy loads or incorrect wiper arm/blade length can temporarily increase current demand. Ensure your installed arm and blade combination is within the specified limits for optimal performance and to prevent excessive current draw.
What's the installation complexity?
Installation is rated 3/5, requiring basic knowledge of 12V DC wiring and mechanical mounting. Connecting to a power source and switch is standard, and experience with marine electrical systems will streamline the process.
