1999 Bayliner Ciera 2355 - Windshield Wiper Arm

[Bayliner_Downunder]

Hi guys, I'm having trouble finding a replacement arm for the wiper on my Ciera. I never saw the original as when I bought the boat it did not come with one. Any ideas out there on where I can find one?? Thanks in advance.

Because your boat has the curved windshield, it appears that Bayliner used a pantograph wiper arm. That's why the single driven taper spline stud and the stationary stud. They use these on buses and other equipment. where the wiper blade stays vertical. My 2550 has a flat windshield that uses a standard automotive type. May have to come from Bayliner.

if you type wiper arm in your browser, then click on images, you can see whats available... going direct to bayliner may be the quickest, or if you can find the bayliner part number, you can probably find the arm on ebay.... and bayliner part numbers can be found on their website.

It looks like an AM Equipment pantograph post, like most of the bigger, older BL boats. Go to their website and see if you can identify the arm and length. It would help if you completed your profile in respect of your location. From your down under name, if you're in Australia, Prime Composites on the Gold Coast are the AM distributors. They have most replacement bits and pieces, but it helps if you have the AM part number.

Cheers

+1 on the pantograph style. Measure from the center of the driven post to the center of the windshield for the pantograph arm length. The blade measurement will be the height of the glass area minus about 2-3 inches. The 18" T2P posted sounds about correct. As stated above the motion of a pantograph is pretty much in a horizontal plane, but there will be some drop to the right side (starboard). You will need to wire brush the screw threads. Arms/blades are available from most any truck/RV or marine center. I went with stainless steel (painted black).
