I have reglazed all my windows and now I have to put them back in. Does anyone know the proper size butyl tape I need to buy? And do I put it on the boat, the window or both?

John,
Assuming you have the aluminum framed windows - I used Life Seal - applying it generously to the frames only. But, you want to only tighten the screws about 90% initially, letting the Life Seal cure for a week or two so it forms a gasket, then tighten the rest of the way.
Good luck.

What about replacing the bathroom window with the catalina direct opening window.
I have heard good and bad things about it. It seems like a nice convenience.
What do you think?

I don't know about the Catalina Direct window . . . I used Lewmars and think they're great.
