Ok, for the second time, I walked into my cabin and discovered it was raining freshwater from above. After a year of being screwed shut, my stupid dash mounted windshield washer valve started leaking again, now I see it had a slow leak out the front but apparently also pressurized the outlet hose, which had previously remained capped off above the headliner.

Working under the assumption that I am never going to want a windshield washer - any clever ideas for that hose? Anyone know where it originates so I can remove it from the equation entirely? I've dug into the entire boat but never got around to actually trying to find it's source - anyone know if it's above the wastewater tank or up by the water heater?

Mine was leaking on the Deck, I bought a new one from the Grady Dealer. You can take the supply hose off and put a barbed fitting in the hose and screw a cap on it. If you remove the panel with all the switches at the helm then its easy to work on it.
