Windshield Washer Kit with Reservoir and 12V Pump (Dual Nozzles)

This windshield cleaning kit provides everything needed to equip your boat with a windshield washer system similar to that of a car. The kit includes a polyethylene water reservoir, an integrated 12V electric pump, flexible hoses, mounting hardware, and two spray nozzles. The reservoir is made of high-quality UV-resistant plastic that won’t corrode in saltwater and can withstand vibrations and impacts. Its compact size allows it to be installed in a tight space – for example, behind the dash, under a seat, or in a storage compartment near the windshield.

Pump and Nozzles: The built-in 12V pump is a diaphragm type designed for marine use. It generates sufficient pressure to squirt water through the nozzles and wash away debris, yet operates quietly and draws minimal current. The two included spray nozzles mount on the windshield frame or cowling and can be aimed at critical areas of the glass. They emit fine spray jets that evenly cover the windshield surface, helping the wipers to remove salt deposits, dust, mud splashes, or bug residue.

Installation and Wiring: The kit is designed for easy installation. The reservoir comes with a bracket so it can be securely mounted to a wall or bulkhead. A hose runs from the tank and splits (with a Y-connector if needed) to feed the two spray nozzles. The electrical connection for the pump ties into your boat’s wiper system – typically via a push-button or switch that activates the washer. When pressed, it supplies 12V power to the pump, which draws water from the tank and delivers it to the nozzles. If desired, you can add a level sensor to the reservoir (not included) to know when you’re low on fluid.

Advantages: With this system, the captain can, at the push of a button, spray fresh water on the windshield, dramatically improving the effectiveness of the wipers. This is especially useful in marine conditions where salty water dries on the glass and leaves a white film – a few squirts and wiper passes will restore clear visibility. It’s also valuable in rain mixed with dust, or in rough seas when wind carries salt and foam onto the windshield; the washer provides that extra cleaning on demand.

Use Cases and Applications: This kit is suitable for any boat with a windshield – from small runabouts and fishing boats to sailboats and motor yachts. It can be installed on new vessels or retrofitted to older boats that already have wipers but lack a washing system. The reservoir capacity is sufficient for multiple washes (typically a few liters, enough for many cleaning cycles). It’s recommended to fill it with a proper windshield washer fluid or at least fresh water to avoid algae or deposits in the lines. In winter (for boats that operate in freezing conditions), a non-freezing washer fluid can be used to prevent ice.

By installing this kit, you will greatly enhance visibility and safety during navigation. Cleaning the windshield will no longer require manual wiping – the system works just like in a car, allowing you to respond instantly to a dirty windshield and stay focused on steering your vessel.
