Hello all
We are doing America's Great Loop in our 1988 3818
See our blog at www.ourtardis.net
Yesterday while transiting from Little Sabine Bay near Pensacola to Panama City we were running into a 20 mph headwinds & going through 2-3 foot chop at 16 mph with heavy spray all over the boat & up over the top of the bimini.
The boat and crew can handle it fine but that SS front window leaks like crazy.
In August 2009 we had a shipyard in Michigan do all of the window seals but they never really stopped the leaking in the SS front windshield. In October 2009 when we transited from Detroit to Clevland to Buffalo we had a fairly persistent leak on that windshield. Since then we have been treating this window with Captain Tolleys Creeping Crack Cure but it is not getting the job done for us
Yesterday was the last straw! I am getting ready to really go after the leak and that includes taking the window all of the way out and starting from scratch.
Before I do this does anyone have any advice about:
Remember this is not the sliding window over the sink. This is the front windshield over the microwave & cabinet.

Before I do this does anyone have any advice about:
- What else I should try before I pull out the window?
- How do I take out this window?
