Guys, I have a 2007 Marlin 300 and noted that my port window above the sink/stove area is leaking. Anyone tackled re-sealing a window? Any tips? When I asked Grady White they said a clear sealant, but recommended a dealer do it. I do not have a reputable dealer any where nearby. Any advice would be appreciated.

I don't know it this helps or not but both the side windows were leaking on my 94 Sailfish so I just recaulked with white silicon caulk. The old caulking on the top between the aluminum and fiberglass was cracking and breaking down so I removed it all with a plastic scraper and then cleaned with a strong solvent (MEK - nasty stuff.) Then I just ran a bead around the top and the leaking stopped.

Thanks. My son is here and we did basically the same thing you did but used clear sealant. It is raining cats and dogs here so will get a good check today. Used the hose to spot the leaks. Found another one on the front window in the corner.
