Left Window Frame

Post by franzmerenda »

Do You Faithful have some evidence that port window frame is some 1" longer than starboard one?

We made the two molds (P&S) identical even though my original frames were different, but I would like to figure out if this discrepancy is the rule, at least for a certain production batch.
Thank you

I am assuming my frames aren't original, and that they were made by Cabrera. I have the windows, and trim rings available at the moment. Hopefully this will answer your question

This is more than a clue Shannon, that left side flybridge structure is an inch longer than right one (mine is one inch); I'm gonna measure a couple of frames on different models (SF and FBC), hopefully manufactured in two different decades.
This looks like a big answer, thank you!

The original aluminum window frames I removed from my boat are different lengths as well. One is slightly longer than the other.

If you were to start measuring and comparing everything from one side to the other you’ll find they’re all different.
The bridge is still fresh in my mind when you’re taping it for non skid and you see one side is different from the other.

Such is the case with almost every boat that had plugs and molds produced by hand
