Does anyone know how to access the port wiper motor? Mine sticks in the middle of the sweep - where it has gotten stuck on the walk through window (when open). I'm guessing I need a new motor but seems the only way to get at it would be by removing the entire port lounge and sink and then removing the large fiberglass panel on the port side of the cabin door. Sounds fun...

Please let me know if you know of a better way. It's above the head, but looks like the head ceiling is rather permanent.

Steve.

I believe you access the port wiper motor through the fluorescent ceiling light in the galley above the counter. You remove the light cover, remove the fluorescent light assembly, then access the port wiper motor. They had to replace my port wiper motor before I bought the boat. Going through the head will not give you access.

Good idea, I'll give that a try.

This is correct.
