    Windshield Washer Pump??

    My Hat is a 1972 53 and I have not figured out where the washer pump/water comes from. I presume it is fromt he potable tank but is there a separate pump or should it be part of the pressure system? At any rate, they don't work and I would appreciate your help in resolving.
    Thanx as always

    All I have seen are just part of the fresh water system.

    Thanx Sky,
    I'm sure you're right but I'm trying to determine if a solenoid or something is supposed to activate with the "button" or if there might be a separate shut-off valve somewhere. I really have been a bit lazy in troubleshooting this seemongly simple issue but any additional thoughts would be appreciated.

    Yes, it's an electric solenoid valve.

    Thanx Sky, I get the idea now. Hydro for hydraulics...why not? I'll find it and put the VM on it and then probably be calling Sam's cause it's not working.

    If you are looking for the water line, it is connected in the starboard engine room just above the water heater...assuming your water heater is locted in the aft part of the engine room.
