Anybody bust one of these off in calm seas?

[Uzi Jesus]

I obviously only cruise on smooth glassy water, so there is zero chance my hull bashing repeatedly against the chop had anything to do with this little weld breaking…

I admittedly know nothing about welding something like this back on, but have a hunch that it’s not as simple as dragging a portable TIG into the cockpit and zipping it on in place. Plus, it seems like a flimsy and flawed design anyway.

Any suggestions on holding my front center window open?

Broken broom handles, duct tape, and removing the glass altogether with a rock or well struck baseball are considerations.
