Default Which window shape?

That is how the cabintop portlights were installed on my last boat.
They leaked, but mostly from the forward end where the portlights came
to a fairly sharp point and where the curve of the cabintop was most
pronounced. The portlight kept wanting to "straighten out" away from
the cabintop and at the same time there was not enough lexan there for
a screw. If your setup wouldn't create as much stress, it might work.


I should get a chance to have a close look at the boat on Wednesday
afternoon if I get down early for the evening race - as I say in an earlier
post, it's pretty slab-sided and I don't think there's much of a compound
curve (if any), but it's better to make sure.
