Hello gang,
So I've tackled my through hull project and am on to the next one of 100,000,000. LoL, got to love old boats, they know how to keep a sailor busy. Good thing i love this tub....
Ok back to the topic, I need to re-bed all of my sky lights. There are 4 and are about 8' x 2'.
All show some signs of leaking from the interior, some worse then others. The boat is a 1989 Jeanneau and the existing sealant looks original. I was lucky enough to find some of the original nuts and bolts the manufacture used to clamp the windows down in the boat, thank your previous owner. See attached pictures.
Here are my questions...
1. Where might I be able to find more of these nifty nuts and bolts if I run out?
2. What type of sealant should I bed the windows in? It is currently a black sealant.
3. What are some helpful tips when removing the existing? I'd hate to damage the original plastic windows or the metal framing.
4. What type of plastic are these windows most likely? Just wondering because they have some signs of sun damage, but I rather not replace them because it doesn't seem very serious.
Cheers!
