😉 I decided leaning out the side window with a water sprayer didn'y cut it anymore. So bought the Sea Dog Washer kit. Found a small locker in the head about right for the tank. Decided against drilling 2 holes in the cabin front above the wipers was..2 holes in the wall too many. So decided to run the tubing up behind some side panel, and one hole out the starboard side wall with abit of Sitkaflex. Then a T fitting above the starboard wiper, a bit hard to heat the plastic tubing and shove it on, but doable. I created 2 little wooden low pyramids to aim the nozzles down onto the glass. Held the nozzles on with plastic wire loop thingys. In about a week the Sea Dog water pump failed. Found a TRICO inline Universal Washer Pump for $20, very easy to install. We're set for crashing thru the waves, salt spray flying, me dry inside pushing a switch, instead of leaning out the side window between waves.
 
Nice mod! RainX works pretty well... if you keep on top of the application.
 
Could Rain-X be added to the water tank?
 
One of the first mods on my C-288 was to replace the wiper switches with Imtra intermittent switches- direct swap. The Imtra switches has a 'wash' button that I have not put to function yet- thanks for the tip-

RainX makes an excellent windshield washer mix that applys the water repellancy every application.

Genius - I'm at least going to do this on my truck
