Fixed deck and hull lights, drop boards

 Fixed cabin top (sky)Lights

In addition to 8 GEBO deck hatches and 4 GEBO portlights, Alubat installed 4 fixed deck lights, and 6 fixed hull lights recessed into the topsides. The skylights were badly crazed by UV exposure.  

The material required for the fixed deck lights is 8mm thick cast acrylic, 2074 grey tint, 

  • 2ea 8mm, 12.5"X 81"
  • 2 ea 12mm, 22"X 28"
  • 1 cartridge, DOW 795, Black.
  • Spare screws
The two fixed skylights were made on site and replaced in May 2024.    Forgot to take pics.....  Both required one tube of DOW 795, total.     The interior trim was easy to remove and was sanded and varnished as well.







Prior posts/workng notes. 


For the hull topsides,   (THANKS MICHELE and LJS!)    On the 43, the topsides acrylic is 10mm thick, on the 435 the opening is 6.5" high X 19.5L.     


The cabin side glazing appears to be 7.5mm or 5/16" thick.  Call it 8mm.
The cabin top glazing is thicker - at 12mm.
