Got an 18' center console. The console has a windshield on it. That
windshield stays wet, and has restricted vision during each boat trip. A
solution to the visibilty part of the problem is to get a higher seat so I
can simply look out over the windshield.
Another solution would be to remove the windshield.
Some center consoles don't have windshields. For the guys whose c/c boats
don't have windshields, how much, if any, do you wish your boat console had
a windshield? I'm trying to figure out if removing the windshield is
actually a potential practical solution.
I have 20 Wellcraft V-20 the windshied is useless, with the height of the bench you can not safely see where you are going sitting down. I always stand driving and wear sunglasses...... because I'm taller than the glass. The brow on my boat is so wide I Never had any water spray in to the boat.....
I have a CC with a windshield; the windshield is great when it is windy and starts to rain. It is nice to have respite when I want to get away from the wind or rain.
Otherwise, I am standing the majority of the time; looking over the windshield.
find a cheap marine windshield wiper on ebay! they are easy to install

My wife say's I spend too much time with my boats. I said "ok, I'll start spending time at the bar!" She said, "I really like the boats...."
I found my windshield to be indespensible when it was 33 degrees out and I am trying to get to my location to drop the downriggers. Now I have no windshield, and I will have to get one of those balaclava things to keep my face from freezing off on those cold mornings coming up...
