Today with the help of Grant Ball we installed new cabin port lights on the boat. They were made by Bomon in Canada. Because the new port lights were longer we had to cut the cabin opening with a saber saw. The internal window lip also needed to be cut away. Grant made a template so we could mark the opening for the cuts. A dusty mess was created.

Here is the port side installed and the pattern Grant made up he used to mark the holes for cutting:

  These are the starboard side opening cut out for the new port lights. Some core was exposed which I sealed with penetrating epoxy.

 Here are the starboard side port lights after installation.

The port lights seal to the cabin top with foam tape. I did a hose down test and didn't see any leaks. Whew.
