I found where I posted this previously in this thread. One note, when you clean out the old sealant from the channel clean out enough so it's below the thickness of the glass and below the metal lip of the frame opposite the glass edge. This gives you the sealing surfaces you need on both the glass edge and the edge of the fame. No need to completely clear out the metal frame channel unless in spots it's soaked with water and totally destroyed. Also the plastic tabs holding the glass in place need to be surrounded with sealant. They are a prime leak point.
I took some of my color matched gel coat from spectra and spread it on a piece of cardboard to dry. My local paint store was able to match it exactly with an enamel paint.
How did you prep and prime it? It's aluminum so a little tougher to get paint to stick long term. Did you paint it with it mounted or did you remove it? Reason I ask is I'm due. Underside of dome shelf is completely bare aluminum now.
I just did touch up on a couple chips so just cleaned with solvent and painted over the bare aluminum. Its been two years and the paint has not come off.
Thanks, this is a project that is up coming and not very exciting but one I will tackle regardless, your pictures and links will help,thanks again
Thanks. I have the one for the generator but the two for the mains are mysteriously not installed. No empty screw holes anywhere indicating they were once there.
Follow the path in this post to get it from the helm to the engine room. Then you can easily get it to the stern.
Not yet. We've got a few places around our lake that can do it. I've got a guy willing to pull it this afternoon, which is great being 2 weeks out from Memorial Day. Just wondering what I should expect cost wise.
