I've never really understood why so many people are resistant to using Plexus to rebed the portlights on their C&C. The people who designed the boat didn't pick Plexus out of a hat. They did their homework, and voted for something they thought was appropriate. TIME has proven that Plexus was a very good choice. No other alternate has ever been tested as long, or on as many C&C's as Plexus, although I've read many reports of failures trying something else just to save a few bucks. Plexus worked well, and has held up as well or better than any adhesive could be expected to hold up. If you have an adhesive/sealant that has lasted 25 years or more ON A BOAT, why on earth would you do all the work of removal & installation with anything else? Seems like foolishness to mess with obvious success. Same goes for using Butyl for the hull/deck joint. It is time-proven more thoroughly than any other alternative. If Plexus and Butyl were known to be problematic, or short-lived, I could understand looking for an improvement.

Pulling off the old windows can often be the worst part. Unless they are falling out already, expect some gelcoat to come with it.  Repair this properly so the adhesive can grip. 
Plexus was my choice and the agent rented the gun too. It's not cheap. Stuff at $35 bucks a cartridge and it took 1.7 to do my 27-5s long windows.
