Hi, we did this work on the cheap side. our portlights were in bad shape, it was raining as outside. the first step was to remove all 5 portlights, and then we tried to pain them with no success. Ended up paying for powder coating. we bought a kit from catalinadirect that comes with silicone...

beautiful boat!

Hey Nick @Nick J , I found a welder, did you sourced your parts from mcmaster carr by any chance? can't find 1" 316 SS threaded rod
