My 22 Angler windows are starting to stick. It looks like I can't take them apart and clean; any suggestion on lubing or other techniques.

Has any every moved and relocated the toilet behind captains seat?

Spray silicone and a old tooth brush work great to free up windows

Liquid Roller (a spray on silicon) seems to be the favorite. Clean out the tracks with air, then have at it. Works well.

If the tracks have salt spray in them, flush with water, then use some vinegar water to clean out the salt. Let the "furry stuff dry, then the Liquid Rollers.

Agree with above. Wash upper, front and bottom "whiskers" to get any algae and salt/dust out. Then the dry silicone spray. Many companies have this. I recently got some "Blaster" silicone dry lube for less than Liquid rollers (which I have used the past).
