Adding Windshield Wash System

Mine came with pax side wiper. There are separate rocker switches on that row of switches under the helm for each side. A 2006 model here in town has a windshield washer system installed, while my 2005 did not come so equipped. I bought a windshield washer bottle with integrated pump motor and installed it right in front of the helm console and wired it to an unused "Accessory" rocker switch under the helm. Then I ran some small diameter plastic hose to holes drilled under the windshields to holes I drilled near the wiper motors and pushed the washer nozzles supplied with the bottle. I had to pull the hose and nozzles out about an inch to get enough height for the nozzles to hit the windshield. I used black silicone to seal the holes and build up the "stalk" under the nozzles after masking off the base. Once dried, I used an Exacto knife to shape the silicone blob.
