ABSTRACT:
An improved boat windshield mounting device which greatly reduces the time required to mount and install a windshield on a boat, skiff or the like in which the windshield sill frame members, both front and wing, are interlocked to a mounting strip which is fastened by screws to the deck of the vessel. The mounting strip includes an elongated, aluminum strip substantially L-shaped in which the smaller leg has a bulbous shaped flange disposed thereto with the smaller leg of the mounting strip being interlocked and received into a chamber in the windshield sill frame members, the chamber having a restricted opening which firmly couples and interlocks the sill frame members to the mounting strip. The mounting strip and the sill frame members are interlocked before the mounting strip is fastened by screws to the deck. The mounting strip, including the smaller leg and the flange disposed thereto, is shaped to be usable on both the front sill frame member and the wing sill frame member, even though the front windshield and the wing windshield are disposed at different relative angles to the deck. Additionally, the front and wing sill frame members include a T-shaped groove adjacent the edge along the bottom surface which receives and holds a resilient seal between the sill frame members and the mounting strip which is utilized as required by installation of the windshield.
