The sealant I used is called Dow Corning 795.

Here is a link to the thread. I actually replaced the windows.

If you don't want to remove the windows you can use a "flow-able" windshield sealant that is available at auto parts stores. It worked well for me until I decided that I wanted to replace the windows.

Hi Goran,
I can recommend Don Caseys book: "Hull and Deck Repair" lots of good advice. You may need to take the window apart and re-assemble with the proper sealants. not too bad of a project, just be sure that the window is back in before you hit the big waves...:-)
