 |
|
While washing the windows on Raven Dancer today I noticed two holes about 3/8" on the frame of the front center opening window, not the window that swings open but the bottom of the frame that the swinging window fits into. I can't see a reason for them unless they are there to act as a weep holes. Could anyone check and see if you have them too and let me know, I'm inclined to fill them up with 5200 sealant.
Raven Dancer is a 22' cruiser 2006. If you open your front window and then look down into the frame you will see the holes on each side of the frame if you have them.
Thank's Big Dave.  |

Yes, I have them too. Each of those two holes are referred to as a "frame drain". They are there to drain out any "green water" that splashes in there when you are cruising with the center window opened. As I'm sure you noticed that when the window is closed the frame drains are then sealed by the "rubber gasket" on the window. I don't perceive them to be a hinderance and am pleased that they are there for their intended purpose.

Yep - I just checked too. I have them. Looks like drain holes. Just like Dave S said.

I'm gonna check mine too. If I don't have any, I'm gonna complain and ask them to send me a box of holes.

On a boat, it's always important to have holes in pairs - one to let the water in, and one to let it back out.
