C25 deck skylight replacement

[RFritz]

I have a 1985 C25 with a small deck skylight over the V-birth. The skylight has a top plastic window and a bottom plastic window. Last year the top window cracked and now leaks. Has anyone replaced one of these skylights or possibly give me suggestions on how to replace it? Do you know where I can order a replacement? Thanks for your help. Ron

Home Depot

I went to Home Depot, got a sheet of the thickest plexiglass they had, cut it to size (4" x 8"), and used silicone caulk.

Question?

Thanks for the reply Brooke; I have not looked at the boat since last fall to see what's involved, but were you able to pry or cut the top lens off?

Demolition

Yes, it wasn't too hard. By the way, the plexiglass will be clear rather than translucent, which makes for more light in the peak.
