[Rhodes22-list] Forward windows on R22

[BARRY RUEHLEN]

A friend of mine and I have been reworking a 1986 that has turned into quite a project. Our portals are the same as you describe. We have noticed that there are snaps screwed around each window, so the previous owner must have had covers of some type to keep that water from puddling. We will do the same as soon as it gets to the top of our to do list. I also removed the seals, cleaned them, and applied a little silicone grease. They now barely leak at all. I place a couple 5 gal paint can lids under them as insurance. That would be much less expensive and way less of a hassle if it suits your purposes.
Good luck

Subject: [Rhodes22-list] Forward windows on R22

My 1978 Rhodes has the old-style forward windows that collect rainwater and
collect two puddles of water in the slanted wells. I know that some of  the
reconditioned boats have non-opening windows that drain off the water that
falls on the cabin top. Does anyone know the model and source of these
windows? I'm thinking of adding a hatch for ventilation and swapping out
these windows for something that doesn't collect water.

Thanks for your help.
