window

Hi All, Hope everyone is doing well! I wanted to reach out and get some expert advice on how to fix my leaking portlight. About a week ago we got some heavy rain and I noticed a very small drip coming from my portlight. The leak seems to be coming through the area between the glass/acrylic...

Anyone have any suggestions on how to get a like new shine on my original E35 window frames. I assume they are aluminum. Not sure. The windows don't leak so I'm not sure I want to replace them but I know new ones would really make the new deck pop. Any suggestions? Thanks

I read a thread a few years ago about how to make our window bezels shiny bright. (wet sand w/400, then again with 600 grt and finally Never Dull). It worked great and I've had many compliments and some even thought they were stainless. As I was proudly finishing the last one, 1 of the old salts...

Does anyone know of a source for replacement screens for the old style Lewmar portlights on an E38-200? My 1988 boat has 12"x5" portlights. I'd appreciate any advice. Mike Jacker

I am in the process of replacing the "glass" in the fixed windows on my Ericson 38. I have the windows out of the boat. Now I want to take the split frames apart. This is where I am running into difficulties. I am having trouble getting the frames apart. Any advice on what has worked for...

I replaced my 4 small ports with opening Lewmars. Three of the old fixed ones are ok, the 4th slider out of the bathroom is a bit corroded. I also have a bunch of that small gasket, grey. Didn't have great luck using it on the big windows.... going to switch to sealant. I also have 6 life...

Has anyone replaced the original portlights on an E29 with new units? I pulled out the small salon portlight (14"x6") yesterday. So far I've located two vendors: Lewmar and New Found Metals. Both companies make a window that is close in size to the original and screened. I prefer an openable...

Am resealing leaky windows and would like to replace original gaskets. Removed one yesterday. Does anyone know the manufacturer of this gasket or where a replacement may be purchased? There are two gaskets. The one which surrounds the plate glass definitely needs replacement. It is a...

Hi all, We noticed today a tear about 1 ft long in our dodgers front plexiglass window. The dodger is only about a year old, and was perfectly fine last week, so we're a little stumped about how it came to be, but thats not what I wanted to ask about. What I wanted to ask, is there a good...

I know there are some 25's CB's out there that people have added a third window similar to the 25+,27, 29's. My question is what size have you added or have on your boat? I want it to be propotionate to the main cabin lights. I know one light will be in the head and opposite, above the...

I want to replace my Port Window on the head side. I need help. Does anybody know a good replacement window that would fit the old one? The glass is cracked but not leaking yet. I want to keep the same look and of course that means aluminum. Does anybody know the cutout size for 1985 E30+? I...

Hey folks - I have an E29 '76 with leaky ports, tried to email Gareth Harris as he used to have some of the Lewmar channell for the tempered glass windows but the email got returned. Anyone know how to contact him or of another good source for the channel and gasket???? Also I'm looking to p;ut...

Just looking out the window from my home office... Hmmmmmmm:jollyroge :unsure: Chris

I received new window gasket material from Gareth, and am struggling to install. The two halves of the frame come within about one inch of mating, but no closer. I've tried using liquid soap as a lubricant, tapping gently with a rubber mallet, and everything else I can think of. The gasket...

Hello All, I have search the posts looking for the rubber weatherstripping for the fixed windows on my 1983 E38 but I cannot find the specific answer I need. I have one leaking window. By window I mean the aft-most fixed windows, the larger ones, two per side, in the cabin top. Not the...

In the Caribbean, it gets hot in the aft cabin. I'm thinking of replacing the port window just above the closet on my 1986 38-200 with a porthole my guests can open. Has anybody done that, or does anyone have advice on that or can you suggest the best place to get an aftermarket porthole? fz

I want to change our windows to Lexan. Same as posted under Owner Projects. I was wondering what the long term outcome has been for anyone that has done this? Have they gotten scratched or cloudy over the years? Any leaking problems? About how much larger it the lexan than the window...

I am sure I saw a listing for replacement fixed window gaskets but I do not seem to be able to find it on search. Does any one remember where it was available. May be am just having a senior moment (far to young for that). I have found the tape for the frame to cabin seal, but not the glass to...

I need to replace the outer window (port) seals on my 1977/78 Ericson 29. According to the Owner's Manual a foam tape is to be used. In looking at some of the past postings people have had difficulty with ports that have been sealed with a silicon type caulking. Does anyone have any...

Am I wrong or is the window trim featured in the owners and projects section actually anodized aluminum as they are on my 30+? I thought all Ericsons used a similar alu. window. Graham Cole

My E-28 (1988) has four fixed windows. One leaks, and the other three are watertight. What is the recommended "fix" for a leak from this type of window? (There is a screwed on aluminum frame on the interior.)

I have been having a lot of trouble with the windows on my 1978 Ericson 27 leaking. Some things I have tried to remedy this are rebeding, completely taking apart and cleaning gasket etc. I am to a point of total frustration and am curious if anyone has suggestions or ideas about how to stop...

Does anyone know where I can find the window stripping material that surounds my E29's sliding head widow? This stripping material serves as the sliding window's track.:confused:
