Dennis,
I'm leaning towards the Lewmars, just want to make sure that there isn't some
disadvantage that I'm not seeing. The install looks very straightforward so I
don't think I need the pics but thanks for the offer.

I replaced one of Touche's old aluminum frame ports with a Lewmar. Very
pleased with the job. It wasn't overly difficult. The only trick was to ensure
uniform spacing between the cabin structure and headliner. I used small dowels
to shim as necessary. You could use tongue depressors, Popsicle sticks, wooden
ice cream spoons, etc. just as well.
I have pics of the job on my computer at home. Unfortunately, I'm still in
Colorado for another couple weeks before I can send them. I could get the
Admiral to send if needed.

I have started a project to renew the windows on my 1976 C&C 38. The
current cabin windows are the original aluminum frame windows and are fogged
and leaky. I'm debating between repairing with new gaskets and acrylic or just
replacing with lewmar portlights. The lewmar's would be slightly larger but I
don't think enlarging the current opening would present any problems and I like
the idea of opening windows,but are a good deal more expensive, about 1 boat
buck extra. The current frames look decent but are 36 years old and the Al is
getting pretty brittle. Looking for comments.
