Listers:

   I have a new one for you.

This past summer I replaced my windows using the recommended method (3M Tape, slower-cure caulking, etc.). The windows originally had been screwed into the cabin top and in some locations thru-bolted (the screws probably gave out when over-torqued to keep out water). Before taping/caulking the replacements in place, I filled all the holes. The project turned out fine. Looks good and no leaks.

As a winter project, I plan to replace the lens on a small "skylight" (maybe 4" x 8") that illuminates the head compartment. The orientation is obviously different than the windows -- it sits in a cavity in the deck and is subject to being walked on. The skylight is thru-bolted in place. Can anyone think of a reason why I should keep the thru-bolts instead of filling the holes and using the recommended procedure for regular window replacement?

   Thanks in advance.
