Windshield wind visors
 
I’ve seen some boats with these visors attached to the top of the windshield. I have a Donzi C22 and wondered if someone can recommend a good product and where to purchase? Thank you

Do quick search, we just covered this month ago maybe ? I know, we don’t like that answer (typically)

search wind screens
wind visors
wind deflectors

sorry, my laptop is down and only have a small screen. I’ll follow the link. I would do a general search but that wont necessarily point me to one that speaks experience! Thanks

thank you, these are perfect! Any suggestions on width? Two 18” seems sufficient for the 7’ wide beam on my Classic 22

interested in any feedback on widths

The further you are from the windshield, the wider you need to go. Most boats can get by with the 18's, but some people like the the wider 24's. I have two 36" deflectors on my boat. It's 8'6" wide. I could get by with 18's or 24's, but I sit about 4-5 ft from the witndshield as the boat has a big deep dash. The wind would just go around the smaller ones and still hit me in the face. That being said, I have a friend with the same boat and and he is happy with a set of 18's. Each to his own.. We have sold several sets of both, 18's and 24's (mostly the 18's) to Donzi owners and have had no complaints about either.

Here are the Wind-Aways on my 22 Classic. Speed tested to 85 MPH. Some people dis them but I like them on cooler days or long cruises. If you do break one you can cut a replacement panel from plexiglass. I have the thin aluminum windscreen but they have adjustable clamps and will fit a conventional windshield also. If you find they are higher than they need to be with the full windshield then you can cut them down. edit: Mine are 18" wide and I stow them in pillow covers.

Those look like an original style set of deflectors from years ago. Today's deflectors are made of polycarbonate and not acrylic.

They are the older ones. Still going strong but one cracked when someone stumbled into it and I cut a replacement panel and made it one inch shorter.
