Thanks to all. The water is salt. The bilge has several compartments. The forward ones generally don't get water until the one below the engine reaches a certain level. This tells me it's not any of

The question if this is fresh or salt water is crucial. I had a water tank leak and recognized it immediately by the smell of water treatment I use. Sabres like to leak rain water, but 4 gallons a day

Don, I'll dip my toe into the pool and say that I re-bedded our 38MKI fixed port glass to the frame and used clear silicone. ?It was my understanding from Glenn that the original sealant was

Thanks Dave

The original opening port lights were probably Beckson. Screens and other parts are available. Installing the screens is a PITA. The hatches on my S32 are Bowmar. If you search the list archives there

I have an 1983 S34 MK1. I’d like to replace my 2 high profile deck hatches and my ports need new screens. I’ve never like the plastic ports…always seemed incongruent with the Sabre build level.

Thanks for all the very helpful replies so far. ?I’ll return from a family visit in South Carolina tonight, and will be back aboard tomorrow. Phil & Andy, Depending on the thickness of my glass I
