This is a SOS, I went to close the power vent, accidentally hit window washer button, and it will not shut down. I had to turn off pumps 1&2, so now we have no water available unless the washer is spraying... HELP!!!

My 10 Meter Trojan has a solenoid under the dash that controlled the windshield washers.

Possible scenarios for you:

rocker switch stayed "ON"

solenoid stuck "OPEN"

I had this problem with a NEXTGEN 2 cylinder diesel genset in my 10 meter.

it was a Kubota motor.

Installed it new in 2003, incident happened about 2015

Removed the head, sent it out for magnaflux and to do a valve job if necessary.

Valves proved to be fine.

This fixed the problem, however as that gen set aged, it created a tremendous amount of blow-by, both before that incident and after.

I ultimately upgraded to a Northern Lights in that boat in 2017.

Here in FL we run the gen set a lot, especially during on the hook overnights.

BEST !

Not too familiar with your boat but, try to unplug the switch. I am sure you will have to loosen that panel. If that doesn't work, look for breaker or fuse.

I checked all fuse panels nothing labeled as such, I think it's a relay that is stuck open and was yours too, disconnect the wires on the switch...
 
The water solenoid is mounted starboard side forward bulkhead in the engine room. I cut one of the wires and it was still stuck open, so cut the water line plugged and double clamped it. Problem solved for now.
