When I do this project I plan on using a glass suction cup or likely two

these in tension while provide a much more even and stronger load across
the portlights, keeping them in place while they cure. I prefer to keep my

Robert,
Thanks for further input. My plan is to follow the same idea. I like your
keyhole idea to locate the window effectively.
One question - did you tape the window in place and then add the 795 into the
gap? Or did you put some 795 on the back of the acrylic (or the cabin side)? I

I am writing to update on my portlight replacement project.
The installation went perfectly and the portlight looks great.
Applying a few wood blocks to the inside of the portlight with removable,
double-sided poster tape was a very effective way to affix the portlight in
proper alignment. It
Curtis,
Your fixed ports are no doubt acrylic (Plexiglas). I would think they would
be 3/8". I've replaced mine twice over the past 15 years. Cast Plexi is
stronger than the standard extruded variety. The original Plexi was bronze.
I chose a smoke grey, which I think gives the boat a more mode

Find a Beneteau with the in hull ports. Look carefully at the ports. The
white ring around the perimeter of the port is paint.
No clue what paint they used. I have a copy of the Beneteau port

This sounds well thought out but I have one thought on this. You say you
painted the inside of the plexiglass black, the substrate you are now adhering
to is paint and not the window itself. I'm thinking you may see the window
separate from the VHB tape and leave the paint behind on the tape as
I agree — my 30mkI had 3/8” acrylic, as well.

I used three eighths cast acrylic. That matched my factory windows and deck
