Sealing/Rebedding Hatch Windows on a 86 Sundancer 270

[hoosiercanuck]

My sea reay has some leaks around the front bow hatch window. It is definitely a leak between the glass and frame. I know I will have to remove the glass, clean out the old caulk (previous owner just kept adding more rather than fixing it once and for all.) My question is this - I have searched around and I can't find what I should use to reseal/rebed the window inside the frame. Any help would be appreciated. THANKS!

I used marine grade clear silicone.the key was getting all the old out,cleaning it real good.apply just enough bead to fill the gap,then let it set for a short time before putting the glass in.this way you don't push all the silicione out with the glass,the glass sets into the silicone.I did all three on my old 25 dancer and had a great result.I also replaced the seals around the hatch and rebedded the hatches into the boat.never leaked a drop after that.
