Thank you for your video!! I have 6 windows to replace this weekend. I notice you did not replace the rubber-gasket seal. Do you know if Lewmar suggests using marine-grade silicone with a new gasket/rubber seal? Lastly, approximately how much time did it take to do one window?
Glad you can use my experiences to your advantage. The rubber seals showed no sign of degradation, so just cleaned them up with soap and water, as dirt tends to collect around them when closed. Now over 20 years on the boat, and no leaks from the gaskets. Don't know Lewmars procedure for replacing them, sorry. Time to complete one window was a very skewed distribution, hours for the first, and recalling about 30 minutes for the last.
Thank you so much for your detailed explanation. Saved me many hours of grief trying to adjust the porthole hinges!!!
Thanks Al, I 'm about to do some replacements, so seeing the procedure is very helpful.
Thanks for taking the trouble to explain soooo well. Most helpful. Mike
