Spent a few hours today revealing my portlights. I used the "stingy sailor" technique I found online.
Mine were well sealed to the boat, but the seal to the glass had deteriorated. I cut it out with a razor blade, cleaned it thoroughly and resealed it with dow 795 black. I'm pretty happy with the end results. We shall see if it leaks when she goes back on the water soon.
I used this time to bed my chainplates and clean/lube my winches as well. Early that morning my kicker got new plugs, carb clean, impeller and gear oil before I hung it back on the mount. Just a few details to and a scrub and she'll be ready to go.
