I will take all of the advice and experience available as to the replacement options now necessary.
The original hand operated windshield devices on our boat are now shot, defunct, dead.
The original parts are from PERKO PK0533DP/ this is the entire device. My handles are in great shape.
The blades $ 49.56
The arms $ 61.03
$110.58 times 2
These are not presently in stock at fisheriesupply.com and require special order and they are not certain of the timeframe.
The entire device is $ 146.61 times 2 this is in stock
So there is an investment of near $300---- this leaves an option of electric wipers at a reasonable cost to consider
Any insight to a solution or if anyone has those parts out there let me know.

Hey JENAFUFFER!
Platinum wipers, eh?
Take the blades and arms down to your local auto parts dealer. They can replace them with similar parts for next to nothing, comparatively, maybe 10-15% of the figures above. There's nothing magic about the marine specific ones from Perko, except the price at your dealer! At least I did that, before I changed over to electrics.
There are also threads on this site about the replacement of the manual wipers with electric ones similar to the factory installations, which, I think, became the standard supplied wipers a few or several years back.
Joe.
