Dear All,
I wonder if any of you has redone the silicone gasket around the side windows (6). On my 575 from 2014, these gaskets are falling in black dust and I am not certain wether or not it could create a water resistancy issue some day....

Our 575 is also 2014. We replaced the black Sika seal on the main larger hull windows. A shipwright removed the outer Sika only - did not remove the windows - and then replaced the Sika. This was done about 2.5 years ago and it still seems good.

Thanks to both you, ok I will do the same, even if the shipyard people told me SIKA was not appropriated and they advise simple soft silicone.
Thanks!

We used the "UV stabilized" Sika 295UV in black obviously. Don't use 291.

This is how the sidewindows Lewmar looks after 12 years with Sikaflex sealing. A other fact that powder painting on aluminum frames is not a good idea!!! Thanks to Lewmar.
 It don’t gives you a save feeling to cross the ocean.
