Re: [OMC-Boats] Windscreen tilt

i've never quite got the logic behind this tilting windshield idea.
isn't that the point of a windshield, so wind doesn't hit you in the
face? and even without it tilted, a boat is basically a convertible
car. plenty of breeze blowing you in the face anyway. maybe i'm
missing something.

2 yrs ago i completely disassembled my windsheild's tilt motor, lubed
it, reassembled - and it still squeaked, jammed up, and blew the
fuse. haven't tried to tilt it since.
