I replaced my wiper blades a couple years ago, and ended up buying a Napa wiper blade and used the blade itself as a "refill" in the factory wiper. Hope this helps.

No way am I paying $110 for 2 wiper blades from the OEM company. I just googled and found them at Camping world for $25 each

Camping world is the way to go. I bought mine there a couple of years ago and they work perfectly.

Nice find @ocgrant .
They're on clearance. For that money, I'm grabbing a spare pair.

They are the original equipment supplier and can get you whatever else you need, including the saddle if you need

So you all have the J-clip attachment not the screw type I have? Did you replace your arms? How is it no one is aware of this type of wiper arm attachment?

No, i have the screw type.
The JClip just comes off the center and the screw goes through it.

No J type arms on these boats... We all have douple arms into a pivot block. Bolt on wipers "old school"

Shaps... When are we going to see some more pics of your new ride???? Going to run mine this weekend on Sunday finally the Atlantic in my area is laying down and no wind. I have to do some final prep and testing before heading to Bimini. I can't wait to see her as I have been in NJ all week while my detailer has been buffing her. Bad news is I just found out we have to have less that 10 day old "negative" covid test proof to enter. Bahamas.... Great here comes the brain tickler

Has anyone replaced their fresh water pump? I currently have a Shurflo 5.7 M#5901-0211 (see pic) and want to purchase a spare to carry just in case the original pump decides to retire on me and of course it always happens when you are on a trip. I have not seen positive reviews on the replacement pump from Shurflo. Any recommendations?

Thanks,
JB

Yes I picked up an Aqua King II also just to keep on board as a spare. My buddy just got his 03 46DA this week and he has 2 of them plumbed in parallel on seperate switches. Kind of a cool idea as you have a redundant system already plumbed and built in. Anyone know why they do this??? Reduntancy or pressure?

My guess is they probably run different water systems so not to lose water pressure when running water from different faucets, showers or toilets. It's a great idea, when I am in the shower and my wife flushes the toilet or runs sink water I lose pressure and have to dodge the hot water... uhg.
