Before throwing my obscenely expensive AFI wiper blades away, I thought I'd try to find the practical solution to the wiper problem. At my local NAPA store, I found refills. NAPA part # 60-1502, $4.39/each. They are 15" long and can be shortened to 11.5" with a knife and a chisel to clip off the little stainless stiffners. A few minutes and I have a like new pair in my spare parts box.

Roger,
Nice job. Maybe this will work on ours too. Another project to look forward to.

I have a 2005 C-Dory 22, and my mechanic also can't locate wiper blade refills. The electric motor is AFI
May try the NAPA blade suggestion; the price is right! _________________ Mikey |

Marina owner doesn't have my blade in stock--2005 22 cruiser--and his assistant can't match anything up either. My attempt to get a blade from West Marine resulted in wrong blades and a return shipment at my expense. Guess I'll try writing directly to C-Dory. |

I got perfect fit and form factor 12 inch squeegee rubber from my "car Quest" auto parts store. $3.50 each. That included the useless squeegee holder. I just pulled the squeegee out of the holder and it was a perfect fit to the squeegee holder on the AFI wiper on my boat.
So are you trying to replace the whole blade/squeegee assembly, or just looking for the squeegee? _________________ You can tell a man his wife is ugly, but never ever criticize his dog, his gun, his truck or his boat.

Thanks for this thread! Just after buying our boat I replaced 1 of our Marinco wiper blades with a factory replacement at a cost of roughly $30. With our 2nd Marinco blade now tearing and in need to replacement, and not wanting to pay another $30 for a new one, I followed this thread and bought a single 24" Rain-X wiper blade from Target at a cost of $9. I then removed the blade itself from the Rain-X bracket and cut the blade roughly in half, to 11.5". It is a perfect fit. The existing metal side rails from the old blade were still in very good condition so I reused them, but since I also had the side rails from the new blade I trimmed them down for use as spares if ever needed. The new blade works great, plus I already have a complete spare ready for use whenever the need arises. A fast and easy fix at a fraction of the cost. Thanks!

After searching several stores over the years for in stock wiper blade replacement...I finally found success at Napa. I needed the 12 inch size and asked for the same. He asked, 'pin or hook?' I said, 'pin' and out he came from the behind the counter parts area with exactely what was a perfect fit. No more fabricating wiper blades for me. And only $5.91 tax included.

How do I get the wiper arms off my 2005 C-dory 22 cruiser to replace wiper blades? Any help will be appreciated. I do think I have the right replacements. Guess I'll see. |

You don't need to take the wiper arms off to replace the blades but to answer your question the arms are held on the motor shaft with a small set screw. Often, they can be hard to remove. |

Thanks, but it looks as if I am going to have to replace the blades themselves. Got the wrong wiper blade holders again from C-Dory. It will be easier to replace the blades with wiper arms off, I think. |

|

I just went to NAPA and got replacement blades for the boat. The part number is 60-1233, and they are the exact same blades as the originals, perfect fit. If the store has problems, tell them to look in the "Vintage" ANCO blades.
It took me a minute to realize that the tab that sticks up from the part that attaches to the arm just needs to be pulled back. Very easy to do. _________________ "And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years." - Abraham Lincoln |

And the NAPA 60-1233 wiper blade, is only $8.10... Order the blades at your local NAPA store via the internet and you will receive a 10% discount. If you are military and show your ID, they will give you 10% off at the counter. They only give one discount... _________________ Steve Baum
