Rebedding Small Portlights
Dolce_Vita:
Catalina direct has a window reseal kit that works for our P-323's large fixed portlights in the main cabin:

Note that they use Dow Corning 795 for the glass bedding, but switch to polysulfide for the frame-to-hull joint.

Hey Ed,
The link you kindly provided to Catalina Direct is for a kit with 45 feet of molding/gasket. I need to double-check, but my fixed ports seem to need about 6' per window (they seem slightly bigger than SeaDragon's P36) so I *think* the 25 foot kit http://www.catalinadirect.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&product_ID=1054 would be enough for all four?
I'm going to re-check my measurements next time I am on the boat, but just wondering if I missed something. The Catalina site does not mention any measurement except for linear feet, so it is not clear if that is the only difference between the kits.
It has been raining so much recently that it would seem this is my next winter project....
Dolce_Vita:
I think you're right. The C-30 kit says it does all SIX fixed windows on the C-30, while the C-22 kit says it's for four windows.
I checked my notes, and the fixed windows in the 323's main cabin are approx. 30" x 6" and 28" x 5 1/4". This would suggest that you need just over 6' for the bigger windows, and just under 6' for the smaller ones. So you should be ok with the smaller kit, but it's close and you'd better measure exactly with a string to be sure.
My PO apparently ordered the bigger kit, because there's a bunch of leftover moulding & gasket.

Thanks Ed.
