ABSTRACT:
A self-draining, leak-resistant boat window comprising a frame body having a continuous mounting flange for engagement with an inner surface surrounding an opening in the boat hull. The body has a spigot which is connected with the mounting flange. A low portion of the spigot has an upwardly facing drain surface constituting a sill. The sill has a downwardly offset portion provided with a sloping, upwardly-open drain groove which extends from a high location adjacent the mounting flange to a low location, remote from the mounting flange. The arrangement is such that water which is splashed onto the sill is channeled toward the offset portion, and thereby drained away. There is thus minimized the tendency for water to collect on the sill and leak into the boat interior when the window pane is opened.
