1. prep/sand boat and plexi.
2. Sika prime both surfaces
3. apply tape to boat on inboard edge of opening
4. mask everything
5. lay bead of sealant on boat
6. set ports
7. finish sealant
8. remove tape when tacky
I don't use clamps or braces, although it wouldn't hurt. The tape holds it in place (approx 1/16" bedding). Ports completed two seasons on MIRAGE without incident. I have done other frameless surface mounted ports on my J Boat the same way and it lasts. Sika is good stuff.

So Harry, just to confirm, the windows are secured in the cabin top by just the 3M tape and then they are caulked with Sika 395. No fasteners whatsoever and no major installation bracing or clamping? How long have they been in place?Rich Knowles
