Jeanneau 42 DS 2012 - Fixed deck lights to saloon

[rmathews]

Hello. I bought our 42DS in 2015 and as part of the deal the deal the yacht broker "fixed" one of these (plexiglass?) large deck lights (adjacent to the mast), the vendor paid for the new glass and the broker \ dealer fitted it. It leaked within months and the dealer re-bedded the glass. That lasted about 2 years and now on inspection i can see that the mastic \ sealant is shrinking away from the deck and glass. does anyone know what the original sealant product was, or what would be an effective cure?

This is the solution we used on Affinity: boatlamps.co.uk/collections/deck-lighting/products/stainless-steel-led-spreader-light The swivel joints a pain but we still get plenty of light.

One on each spreader. Like daylight at night.
