You asked for it, so here it is. I don't have great "in progress" pics because I didn't plan on doing a tutorial so you get what I've got.
The original 1985 window glazing rubber is gray. The new stuff is black. To date, I have finished 6 of the 11 fixed windows. I remove the old rubber, dig out the old caulk, then push in the new rubber and then fill underneath that with Dowsil 795 structural silicone. It takes me about 2-3 hours per window.
The first pic shows the old glazing. Next is the new glazing going in. Lastly you see the look with all 5 from windshields complete.
Click on pics to see them oriented properly. I'm not gonna mess with all of the sizing and re-saving crap. It takes too long.

And here is an aft deck window finished and a forward curved window with the old caulk dug out.

Excellent work as always. Thanks for putting it up.
I'm forever amazed, or maybe jealaous is a better word, of the effects or lack thereof of fresh water.
That indoor heated storage is something else too. I'm sure it costs, but what a convenience that must be.

That indoor heated storage is something else too. I'm sure it costs, but what a convenience that must be. Yes the fresh water makes it so much easier to maintain. We still get corrosion and the effects of the sun, but it is much less and that allows me time to stay ahead of it on the cleaning, polishing, varnishing, etc. We pay around $6/sq ft for indoor heated storage. When you factor in winterizing, and shrink wrapping if you stored outside, it makes indoor seem less painful. Plus you can work on the boat all winter which I do, but most times I see no one else there. |

The best part of indoor heated storage is the prep. I asked Sky for his prep checklist and this is what he sent...Battery Switches Off. Thanks Sky!

Yeah... the kids' spoiled LOL... His boat has been wintered inside since new. Right SKY?? AGE is our worst enemy; both us and TOYS! ws For the first 19 years, my boat was docked in a boathouse on the Detroit River. It had 4 owners in those 19 years and each time the boat sold, the boathouse sold with it. She was stored in there all year around. I have let her deteriorate some as I keep her out in the weather during the summer months, but she does get to go inside for the winter. It may not be the best cared for Hatteras motoryacht of her vintage, but she's still pretty nice. Nice enough to spend a little money on her for a repower. |
