Hi all, looked up at the clear blue sky and thought where is the rain coming from, turned out to be my screen wash jets! I had used to clear the salt off the wind shield but now they won’t turn off. In the end turned off the freshwater pump and it stopped. so until fixed no freshwater ?
1. So guess it must be a solenoid connected to the freshwater circuit?
2. Does anyone known where on the boat Windy (khamsin) locate them ?
many thanks
 
That's a bit strange as it would imply your freshwater pump is providing water pressure for the screen wash? Mine has a small in-line 12v pump behind the fridge.
 
answering my own post after plenty of searching in case of use to anyone else in the future.
windy khamsin screen wash works off the freshwater pressurised system via a small 12v solenoid located in the service ducting behind the engine access ladder. Direct replacement found with a company called Tameson. See pic5BD0ABDE-475F-4D45-879A-79C348F4630B.jpeg
