Hello All, I wrote before about wanting a solution for opening the helm window on our 1967 42 Commander. I put the boat away without taking some measurements... Can someone with a 42 aft cabin help me out? I'm looking for..
There are three connection points for the manual window opener. On the dash, there are two "end caps" attached to a 3/4" tube, and one point on the lower part of the center window that the window prop rod attaches to. I need:
The distance from the aft mounting point on the dash to the window mounting point when closed
The distance from the aft mounting point on the dash to the window mounting point when opened fully.
These two measurements will allow me to get the right size actuator. And seeing as I'm not able to find one that is covered nicely, I'm planning to make a cover either out of canvas, or out of mahogany. The goal is to cover the motor portion - on the actuators I've seen, I'm not impressed with the look of having the motor exposed.
Thanks in advance!
