wiper system

We were out to watch the fireworks and got caught in a rainstorm that ended up cancelling the show.  When wiping down the boat i turned on the windshield wipers.  One didn't work and the other wouldn't shut off after i turned it on.  I ended up pulling the dash and then disconnecting the switch.  Still didn't shut it off.  I looked at the back of the connector to the rocker switch and there was a capacitor.  At this point that was the only thing that could of been supplying it power.  I cut it and problem was solved.  So I need a wiper motor, both arms need to be replaced and now i am guessing a switch.  In looking online it looks like the motor is a Marinco/AFI but the switch's are all different and the price is all over the place.  Marinco has one for $140 and the cheapest is Ongaro for $23.  Has anyone had to replace the switch before?  Not just the rocker but the whole thing?
