I know this has been posted on the forum before, but I can't find it. After a hard rain last night, I noticed the skylight is leaking a lot! I am not sure what is the best way to remove it, clean it, and rebed it.

If you haven't already found a replacement, Catalina Yachts at 21200 Victory Blvd., Woodland Hills, Ca.,91376; stock this skylight part #10314. I ordered one for my '84 std. F/K Cat.25 a couple of years ago. Cost - $6.90. Their Tel. # is 818-884-7700
