4. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your Marinco 35010 Wiper Motor. This motor is designed for 12V DC systems.

4.1 Mounting Location

• Consider accessibility for future maintenance or troubleshooting.

4.2 Mechanical Installation

1. Drill appropriate holes for mounting the motor and for the 2.5-inch shaft to pass through the bulkhead or mounting surface. Refer to the motor's dimensions for precise hole placement.
2. Secure the motor using appropriate marine-grade fasteners. Ensure a watertight seal around the shaft penetration point to prevent water ingress.

4.3 Electrical Connections

• The Marinco 35010 operates on 12V DC. Connect the positive (+) wire from your vessel's 12V power supply to the motor's positive terminal.
• Connect the negative (-) wire from your vessel's ground to the motor's negative terminal.
• It is recommended to install an appropriately rated fuse or circuit breaker in the positive power line to protect the motor and electrical system.
• Ensure all connections are crimped, soldered, and sealed with heat shrink tubing or marine-grade electrical tape to prevent corrosion and ensure reliability.

5. Operation

Once installed and wired correctly, the Marinco 35010 Wiper Motor is ready for operation. The motor provides a 110-degree sweep for effective clearing of the viewing area.

• Activate the wiper motor using the designated switch on your vessel's control panel.
• Ensure the wiper blade is in contact with the window surface and that there are no obstructions to its movement.
• For optimal performance and to prevent damage to the blade or motor, avoid operating the wipers on a dry window. Use a washer system or wet the window surface if necessary.
