| Crack in the stailess Z-frame |
Just in from John Mackie, John William 37VY68
I've been chasing a leak in the starboard window since we bought the boat. Yesterday I removed the glass and did some caulking and thought I finally had it. This morning the leak was still there so the glass and trim came out again and I discovered a crack in the frame. Appears to be from forming the tight radius with the press brake. Before claiming victory I removed the teak trim inside and cleaned out the old caulk and poured water, with red dye
over the crack. No leak, so out came the whole window. The window had been installed at some point with 3M's 5200 but it came out with some persuasion and colorful language. About ready to reinstall with 3M 4000 this time and will let you know how it goes.
