Hi all! Just thought I'd strike up a conversation on pilothouse window construction. Several different boats (Cats, Pilothouses, Trawlers) use curved corner windows like ours. Replacing ours has turned out to be alot of fun! NOT! This is just a quick update. If anyone has any actual experience with this, I'd love to hear from them. So far, we have home-built an oven, moved it up to the foredeck and we are currently testing samples before we actually attempt to bend a real, 3/8" thick 320 deg F $150+ piece of grey tinted Makrolon. Tests have been positive, but tolerances are much closer than I originally imagined. Attached find a pic of where the corner windows will go. They are attached by thru bolting them along with an aluminum outside bezel. This is a real adventure!
