I purchased 6 NFM Tri-Matrix port lights for the boat at the Miami Show. The first replacement in the head, was quick and easy. Today I finally getting around to replace the second one across from the head over the sink. As you can see in the pics, I found all the wood rotted and to my surprise, it appears that the PO did some repairs and must have used some 5200 on the aft side of the port light. I needed a pry-bar to remove the window. As you can see it ripped the fiberglass down to the fibers. I also noticed that the PO put in 4 screws to hold the inside skin to the plywood.
I've removed all the rotted wood and have cut out plywood to replace. I'm letting the cut out, dry out while the new wood is drying after being wet out. Any reason as to why I would need to do more that just rewet the exposed glass as the new port light will cover it completely????
Thanks
