Ok, I’m at my wits end here and need some help from fellow yachters!
Since purchasing our 34T, the windows have been our #1 pest. The previous owner had removed all of them and taped plastic over the openings. Don’t even get me started on removing the seasons old tape residue.
But now we’ve...

I just sent emails to Motion Windows in Vancouver, WA and to USA Marine Windows in Florida to get some prices on fabricating replacement fixed windows for my E30+.
I did...
In my quest to refurbish or replace my portlights I came across this company that fabricates marine and RV windows. Does anyone know of them or have any experience with them?
I was thinking of sending them dimensions and having them give me a quote on their 1200 or 1250 fixed portlights...
I recently purchased a 72 35-2 and one of the things needing repair are the windows. Some are so corroded I dont think I could even get them apart without destroying them. Where can i get replacements?

I have a Ericson 35 and the windows have been leaking since the day I bought the boat last Fall. I even put temporary sealant around the edges until I could make time to start to replace them. The metal of the windows has deteriorated over the years due to neglect. I know an internal seal would...
I talked with the Guy's at New Found Metals at the strictly sail show in April. I a interested in replacing the original port lights with something that opens and was impressed with their ports. This however brings up a problem as they cast their ports in stainless and they do not at all match...
Anyone know where I can get new window seals for my E29? I have tried applying calking to windows. However, they still leak and now I have to clean up an unsightly mess. I read the lead about replacing the class windows with Plexiglas and I don't want to give up my tempered glass windows. So, I...
My dodger has Strataglass brand vinyl windows. It was expensive but beautifully clear. I've religiously used the Imar cleaner/protectant recommended by the Strataglass manufacturer but I find that the Imar doesn't remove waterspots completely and after a day or two the windows are a bit cloudy...
Hi there,
I'm the first to admit I'm not very computer savvy. I tried to do a search for "windows" "window seal" and some others in this site. I got lots of threads of things other than windows.
I'm sure I'm not the first to bring up this subject, but couldn't find many old threads.
My fixed...
I have a 1983 Ericson 381. Where can I obtain 4" White Ericson decals? Also does anyone have information on how to re-seal the 4 "Ericson shaped" non opening cabin windows?
We sail out of Grosse Ile, MI and would like to hear from Lake Erie Ericson owners.
Thanks

Hi All,
Going to tackle a leaky window or two on my boat this wkd, does anyone have any recommendations on what I might need to complete the job. I want to stay with the original look no lexan replacements. I guess i would like to know the basic idea before pulling out the window.
thanks
There are several threads dealing with the repair of the windows. However, I can't find any reference to the thickness of foam being used. Any thoughts/advice?
My 1985 Ericson 32-3 hull #637 is a beautiful boat. This last fall I noticed that all four of my port and starboard windows have been leaking. The interior wood around the windows are begining to fail and am now in the process of replacing the wood work. Apparently the windows appear to be...
Our boats lexan windows are 'crazed' to the point you cannot see through them in bright light. I intend to take the windows out - they've been out to re-bed with fresh sealer before, so I know they will come out. Looking closely I think the outer aluminum is two pieces - a top and bottom half...
Has anyone resealed the opening port windows on an ericson 38. Ours has the older style before ericson went to Lewmar. Any thoughts. They leak when it rains
Over the last week I have replaced all the windows on my Ericson 27. I had tried repeatedly to stop the leaking, and as a result of total frustration opted to replace them. The method I chose was to template the windows, and have a company in Seattle cut replacements from Lexan. I am happy to...
