Last summer after a heavy rainstorm I noticed a couple of drops of water on the starboard settee cushion and tracked the source to the forward fixed port. Having a very dry boat I didn't want to just let this go even though it was only a couple of drops. Last weekend while working on the boat I ended up removing the complete port and frame; no easy task in itself. The past couple of days I worked on removing the glass. What a battle that was:0! I did not break anything and only drew a little bit of blood. The frame was held into the boat by the internal aluminum trim and a lot of white caulk that remained fairly flexible. The glass was sealed into the frame with clear silicone caulk that gripped like a giant gorilla.
My question is does anyone have experience re-sealing the glass into the frame and the frame/port back into the boat. This is way more work than I had imagined. I hope it all goes back together without any leaks!
