Hi Dave,
With boat in fresh water we have not had need to run windshield washers. Back in salt water, I need to do that. Get nothing out of the three nozzles after using small pin on outlets. Hear a small hum on #2 but not sure where pump is. Suggestions?
Thanks, and have a good holiday weekend.

The washer pumps on our NT 32-238 (2004 model) are located just above the washer reservoir. Locate your pumps, remove the tubing on the discharge side of the pumps and confirm that wash is indeed flowing.  If no flow then find out why--is there fluid in the reservoir?.  If the pump does not run check for 12 volts at the pump when the wiper switch is depressed.  If not, you can get to the back of the wiper switches by removing the fiberglass or plastic cover in the head compartment.  Good luck.
