windshield wipersd

i have a 2005 390 sundancer. the windshield wipers dont come on. any ideas?

Master switch on to energize the circuit? Blown fuse or circuit breaker? Check power at the switch and verify the switch works and then check for power at the motor end. I'd guess it's a simple solution and not the motors themselves, but you never know!

Under the Dash, open the access drawer, there are 2 separate breakers, probably just needs to push in the breaker. Don't run the wipers on dry windshield!

Dry windshield plus wipers moving equals scratching!!

i tried the breakers under the dash and i dont see anything wrong. the light comes on when i activate the wipers master switch. is there a fuse somewhere?

By-pass the switch to prove out the switch.

i will bypass the switch. how do you get the breakers out to make sure all is well there or is that unnecessary?

Check for power at the motors themselves. In my case I had power - but completely out rusted units nicely hidden under the plastic cover. I use Rainx now and have never needed the wipers. With a boat as new as yours I would think it's probably something simple - but at least check for voltage at the motors which will tell you if you need to check switches, breakers, connections, etc.
