AFI Windshield Wiper Blades & Arms: Marine-Grade Visibility You Can Trust
When spray is flying and visibility is everything, the last thing you want is a wiper system that fails you. AFI has long been the trusted name in marine wiper systems, designing windshield wiper blades and arms that are purpose-built for the demands of the open water — not adapted from automotive applications as an afterthought. Their products are engineered to resist the relentless punishment of saltwater, UV exposure, and harsh weather that would quickly degrade lesser hardware.
Stainless Steel Construction Inside and Out
AFI's Deluxe Stainless Steel Wiper Blades feature stainless steel frame construction and high-end silicone rubber squeegees. This combination isn't accidental — stainless steel resists the corrosion that saltwater and humidity cause over time, while silicone squeegees outlast standard rubber and deliver a cleaner, streak-free wipe across both flat and curved windshields. These blades work well on both curved and flat windshields, making them a versatile choice for a wide range of vessel types.
Deluxe Blades with Engineered Pressure Distribution
AFI's Deluxe Windshield Wiper Blades are designed for use with Marinco wiper arms and install through simple push-on attachment. They work well on curved or flat windshields and feature extra squeegee "claws" that spread pressure evenly over the length of the blade. This even pressure distribution ensures consistent glass contact across the full sweep arc — critical on a boat where moisture, mist, and spray must be cleared quickly and completely.
The Premier blades have extra stainless holders with additional squeegee claws to spread pressure evenly along the blade, allowing the blade to easily conform to a curved windshield as well as flat. For boaters with compound-curve windscreens common on sportfishing boats and cruisers, this conforming flexibility makes a meaningful difference in wipe quality.
Articulating Wiper Arms Built for Convenience
AFI's wiper arms are more than just passive connectors between motor and blade. The AFI Deluxe Adjustable Wiper Arms are equipped with an articulation action that allows the arm to lock into a bent-back position — a feature that makes window washing much more convenient and allows for easy access to the wiper blade. Pantographic arms provide a flat square sweep for improved vision, covering more of the windscreen with a single motor, which is especially useful on wide-beam vessels.
Compatibility with 12V and 24V Systems
AFI offers hardware for both 12V and 24V electrical systems, as well as various sizes of wiper arms and blades, making it straightforward to find a setup that integrates with your existing electrical infrastructure. Whether you're rigging a compact runabout or a large offshore cruiser, there's an AFI wiper arm and blade combination suited to the task. By selecting the appropriate AFI motor, arm, and blade combination, you'll maintain excellent visibility in rain or spray.
Manufacturer Warranty & Proven Marine Reliability
Proudly made in the USA, AFI products undergo rigorous testing and are often backed by generous warranties — giving you peace of mind knowing your marine hardware is built to high standards and ready for tough conditions. For boaters who depend on their wiper system to perform in heavy weather, that commitment to quality is what sets AFI apart from generic alternatives.
