Ahoy Mates!
New member here. Just brought my "new" Riviera from Mamaroneck NY to it's new home port of Lloyd Harbor NY today. Love the boat and it's been very well maintained and ran great. One of the front vent windows was (intentionally) sealed shut. I want to restore it to operate so here's my question...
Has anyone ever retrofit a locking rod or something similar to make it easier top open and close? I had a 35 foot CHB Trawler that had this kind of mechanism on the center front window, You would unset the knob and push the rod forward top open the bottom of the window and reset the knob to hold it open. Seems the vent windows are pretty hard to reach otherwise.
Any other tips/tricks from Riveiera 28 owners?
Cheers!
Tom
