I am slowly re-bedding all the windows on our 92 45CC. It’s actually going really well. A few of them leaked, and some have a really bad repair job by previous owner(s). There’s silicone smeared over everything, crooked screws etc. I have pulled and replaced 5 and am on to the next bunch. One has broken glass and I am having trouble finding a resource to replace it. Any suggestions on where to turn? Eventually I need to replace the fixed windows, those have also been poorly serviced and maintained over time, so I need a good resource.

You can get the entire unit at defender Marine
Thanks, I noticed that as a resource in an earlier post. They don’t have what I have and I am really just looking for someone to supply the glass. I appreciate your response though.
Give Paul Dennis a call at warren river boatworks.
Hi Amy, if helpful as an option that is used on many boats… there is polycarbonate and there is acrylic. Polycarbonate is stronger although will yellow and craze (i.e. micro cracks that can appear whitish or generally lacking clarity, like old car headlights) and acrylic will always remain clear although it is not as strong (think car tail lights and outdoor business signs (e.g. Lowes) that last decades and still look new).
Acrylic brands include Acrylite, Plexiglass, and others. Acrylic can be cut to shapes like for port windows and saltwater aquariums (as I’ve fabricated with a home tablesaw to cut the pieces and a syringe containing methylene chloride to chemically weld the seams).
Deck hatches can be made of either acrylic or poly carb, and I’d choose acrylic for clarity and longevity, and to outlive me. 
Same with port windows. I think high quality boat hatches and windows are now typically acrylic.
Depending on your location, if you don’t want to cut pieces yourself then various plastic supply / sign making / and other businesses can cut acrylic pieces to size for you. Hope this helps!!
Let me know if I can provide links with directions for cutting acrylic.
Best wishes!!
