[Rhodes22-list] Caulking Windows

[anima13]

Take the window out and clean all the old caulk out.
clean and prep the boat also (lots of dirt behind
those windows.
This is time consuming and troublesome but it is the
only way to do it.
I you approach the job as you stated, My family would
say you did it the "bohemian way".

As I am about to "caulk" the windows to (hopefully) address our "leak
problem"...

What is the recommended approach?  Someone in the West Marine Store
suggested that I might wish to "pull" the windows, caulk, and re-install the
windows.   I believe that the windows are plastic, and I am concerned about
possibly breaking them when removing.

Is it necessary to remove and caulk, or can I just apply a bead of caulking
around the window frame?  Also is there a recommended caulking material?
West Marine recommended that I go with the 3M Marine Adhesive Sealant Fast
Cure 4200.

Thoughts?  And thanks in advance for your help.
