Cracked Faux Porthole Window

[480ces]

Hi Guys,

Has anyone ran into this before? The window is cracked in two places, allowing water into the rear bilge. It appears to just be black plastic.

This "Window" is merely to maintain symmetry and not a real operating window. It's on the Starboard Aft of the boat and will require the removal of the Upper Vanity to get to. There is an access panel, but its too low to allow for removal.

It looks like Sea Ray goofed on the material, it seems brittle from UV. I assume others have had this issue, as this boat hasn't seen the weather many have.

Any ideas for an easy repair?

Most windows are made by Bomar / Pomanette Unfortunately it needs replacement the window is "caulked in" so you need a special release agent sold at most marine stores to break the seal the new windows are around $225.
