if you plan to use butyl tape, I would strongly recommend trying Maine Sail’s
product. I think he ships it free in the US. In Canada, the cost of shipping is
somewhat prohibitive (if I recall, the s&h would be more then the tape itself).
But it is possible to make a bigger order and share.
I got his product and I am happy. Of course, ymmv.

After using Butyl tape for the first time on my dodger window install, I follow
the recommendation of so many folks I met in Canada last summer and would
encourage you to try this product for hatches windows or any of the deck
sealant issue you might have. The savings in clean up alone is immense and I
think it makes for a much more dependable seal. As for the life of the
product, I am only onto it about 2 weeks, but everyone I met last summer were
really hyped up about it. Marine stores have it (West Marine will order it),
but ebay has various colors and thicknesses for mucho cheaper. I made quite an
investment in my 20 foot roll,

We installed new cabin windows about 6 years ago......it's not rocket science
but it was labor intensive. I am assuming your windows are flush with the side
of the cabin top with no frames and/or screws or other fasteners....that the
way they are on the 32's . Our windows leaked and the only sure way to stop it
was to replace them.
Some time back, I posted on this list, the step by step process we used
however it is not on my new laptop ......I will check to see if it is still on
my old laptop and send it to you.
Where is your boat now?

Sorry about the reply on the last thread I could hardly follow the
replys and I know better. The ports are as you described sealed into a
moulded recess on the cabin top. I think actually from your description now
I understand how they will come out.
I am doing a complete refit of the boat so I will add it to the list of
projects. Although the refit is mostly done.
Mike, we bought Silver Tassie last fall. No comments please on her
condition. :)
