Windschield wipers air pressure

[captwoodyb]

Anyone familiar with repairing or maybe replacing windshield wipers on 53HatMY? I have air going to my port wiper but she will not operate ? Not familiar with air pressure service can they be rebuilt, replaced ? Also considering replacing with electric. I have 32volt in overhead console right next to wipers. I would probably be better off converting to 12volt or 24volt if I went electric, but if I converted I would have to cap off all copper air lines in console . Any one with experience in this area, I would appreciate feed back. Thanks.............CaptwoodyB........burritts@verizon.net

These wipers were not only used on boats, but on intercity buses as well. You may want to look at Bus Trader magazine as I think there are still some brand new units available. I know Eagle bus and Flexible both used them and the Flexible brand is still made in Mexico, I think, under another name using the same old design and technology from the 60's.

I had mine rebuilt by Abshier Manufacturing 9961 Brookside Court Avon, Indiana 46123 Ph= 317-271-0711 Did a nice job-approx $50.00 ea as I recall.
While we are on the subject-Has anyone else had a problem with the condensation getting to the wiper motors and dripping out of the boxes that houses them? I have a typical water separator located after the air tank-but am still getting water at the motor. Any ideas??
Thanks

Also have the air controls repaired.
Dana Abshier rebuilt one of my motors and also did the control (about $20 for the control and $75 for the motor). June 06.
I still had slow movement of the blade. The blade was 18" I think and after I cut to 14" and centered the blade it works good.
The water washer control was leaking and I removed from the bottom, just untighened and it came out. Put a new O ring in and it works great.
