Marinco 34018S 18 Inch Deluxe Stainless Steel Wiper Blade, Marine Grade Silicone Squeegee

The Marinco 34018S is an 18 inch deluxe wiper blade built in all stainless steel for boat windshields exposed to sun, salt, and spray. It is designed to work on both curved and flat windshields, using extra squeegee "claws" along the blade that spread pressure evenly across its full length so the blade conforms to the curved glass found on many helm windshields rather than skipping or chattering across it. The wiping edge is a marine grade silicone squeegee, chosen for its resistance to UV exposure and saltwater compared to standard rubber squeegees, helping it maintain a clean, consistent wipe over repeated use offshore.

The blade uses a pinch tab mounting type and is a universal fit, making it a straightforward swap for boat owners replacing a worn or cracked wiper blade. Marinco recommends replacing wiper blades approximately every 6 months to maintain maximum wiping performance, since UV and saltwater exposure break down squeegee material faster than typical automotive use. The all stainless steel frame resists corrosion better than painted or plastic-cored blades, which is important given the marine environment this blade is built for.
