A while back someone mentioned where to buy replacement widows, Did anyone buy them & where did they buy them? Bonnie M15
I replaced the windows on my 78 Montgomery using plexiglass. It is a challenge but you can remove the present window frames and insert the new glass calk and rebed the windows. A challenging but fun job. --- On Mon, 3/5/12, Bonnie Kostka <bonniekostka@sbcglobal.net> wrote: From: Bonnie Kostka <bonniekostka@sbcglobal.net> Subject: M_Boats: replacement windows To: montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com Date: Monday, March 5, 2012, 2:55 PM A while back someone mentioned where to buy replacement widows, Did anyone buy them & where did they buy them?

bonnie: look in your local area for a plexiglass supplier that can provide the tinting (you like) and thickness you need. the M15 windows are held in place, as you can see, by oval head machine screws and nylock nuts (you can re-use the ones currently in use). the 'bedding' is marine clear silicon (this is the _only_ location you ever want to you silicon on your boat!!) undo the fasteners, gently and with increasing pressure push on the inside of the window at one corner to get the silicon 'gasket' to release. go slow and easy so as not to break the window (the old windows can become brittle). if needed you to try 'prying' at the edge from the outside, but be careful not to damage the gelcoat. again, go slow and easily. once the windows are out you now have templates to make new ones. if you like i can post pictures on how to install the windows. not difficult, and best done with two people (unless you have long arms). :: Dave Scobie :: Sage Marine --- On Mon, 3/5/12, Louis Remmers <louremmers@yahoo.com> wrote:

Bonnie, on your replacement windows, what type of sealant did you use and where did you get it? ----Larry Hughston in Sacramento, with "Old 189" M-15 by Jerry M. -----Original Message----- From: montgomery_boats-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:montgomery_boats-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Louis Remmers Sent: Monday, March 05, 2012 6:36 PM To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats Subject: Re: M_Boats: replacement windows I replaced the windows on my 78 Montgomery using plexiglass.

Larry: the M15s use a different window 'system' than the oldest M17s, such as the '78 mentioned below. when Jerry built the new M17 deck mold the M15s and M17s used the same 'system'. to bed the window use marine grade clear silicone. this is the ONLY location you should use silicone on your boat. :: Dave Scobie :: former M15 owner - www.freewebs.com/m15-named-scred :: M17 #375 SWEET PEA - www.m17-375.webs.com ________________________________ From: "Hughston, Larry@DGS" <Larry.Hughston@dgs.ca.gov> Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2013 9:08 AM Bonnie, on your replacement windows, what type of sealant did you use and where did you get it? ----Larry Hughston in Sacramento, with "Old 189" M-15 by Jerry M. -----Original Message----- From: On Behalf Of Louis Remmers Sent: Monday, March 05, 2012 6:36 PM I replaced the windows on my 78 Montgomery using plexiglass.

I would also suggest that before using the silicone that you mask off the adjacent hull thoroughly as getting silicone off of gelcoat is labor intensive. Tom B On Thu, Aug 15, 2013 at 10:20 AM, W David Scobie <wdscobie@yahoo.com> wrote:

I have read that Dow 795 is the choice for bedding acrylics. Is that the same as plexiglas? I have been thinking of doing that same modification and adding a smaller window forward of the existing on each side. Perhaps carry the upper and lower window opening lines forward to the other side of the chain plates just to get some more light into the v-berth area. Being able to open all of them would be wonderful. Tom B M17, #258 On Thu, Aug 15, 2013 at 10:08 AM, Hughston, Larry@DGS < Larry.Hughston@dgs.ca.gov> wrote:
