Marinco AFI Wet Wiper – Spray Nozzle blown out
Submitted by hilko on Wed, 2020-05-27 20:32
I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem?
My wiper spray nozzle jet (1 of 4) blew out after only using a few times - unfortunately took a few years before I noticed.
Probably too much water pressure.
It seems silly and a waste to spend $140 for a complete new wiper assembly.
Is there a boat graveyard or second hand place I can enquire at?
Any ideas?

Don't know - will pull it apart and have a look
Will need magnifying glass as they're tiny bits
Cheers Thanks

Same issue
Gday Hilko.
Not sure if you will see this, but I have just had the exact same problem, bloody thing, and everyone I talk to doesnt have access to spare/replacement parts...
How did you go?
Cheers

No Joy
I asked around too - and noone keeps the bits. Rather sell you a new one. I tried to take it apart and do something using other bits.
At the end i put it back and it's still there and one "jetless hole" just sqirts water into air - until i have to do a similar fix and replace two things at once.
it's frustrating - i reckon i only used it a couple of times before it went missing - but it was a year or two later from instal date.

Sikaflex
Thanks for getting back to me, I ended up filling the hole with sikaflex and it's held up alright, same as you I barely use them, just annoying when I have to!
cheers
