Captain Side Window leaking bad in sloppy Seas

Post by slimjim »

I was out on a fishing trip yesterday and it was sloppy,choppie windy and we took a ton of spray on my stb side for 20 mile run, had my stb side sliding window shup all the way, but could not stop the sea water from pouring in has anyone else had this problem and is there an easy fix?

I had to take a towel to try and stop or plug it with little help. Looks like I will have to put something in the outside rail, as the water is sliding down the rail of the bottom of the window and pouring in on ME! HELP. Thanks for any replys.

Are you missing the window gasket?
