On my Maiden trip/voyage of my New To Me 1985 Revenge 22 WT I arrived at my desination and was about a mile off the trailer when I noticed I was missing the windshield's starboard side vent window, it was there when I left, but had fallen off somewhere on the 50 mile drive to the ramp.

Subsequently I am looking for the OEM of the windshields and side vent windows of this vintage. Any help would be appreciated..... I know I can probably take the port side vent window off and have it replicated at a local auto glass shop, but I still need the hing/hasp hardware

I do have good news....On a tip from Jimh that they were Taylor Made, I went to West Marine today(after searching their cataog) and I picked up a set of the Taylor Made Adjustable Side Vent Arms #11616 West Marine Item #592339. $15.99 for the set of two including all hardware. They are exactly what is on my 1985 Revenge 22 WT

I think it would be well worth it for Revenge Owners to pick up an extra set to have on hand just in case. I'll be removing the Port side vent glass so I can take it to a local glass shop and have it duplicated in tempered/tinted glass to match the rest of the glass, actually, It probably would be a good idea to just take the Revenge there to have the work done......with particular attention to sealing the screws/brackets with some sort of loctite, 3M sealer, etc...

Pat,

That is great news but I have no idea what you are talking about...

Can you send me some photos of these parts so I can add them to the Photo Gallery so everyone will know what they look like? I will also add the part numbers to the photos...

The Saga Continues!!!!

I received the replacement glass, installed the vent window adjustment arms, but have been unable to locate the turning hasp that locks the vent closed. I've got a lady from Taylor Marine doing a search for me, Taylor Marine has a 7 year obscolesence period so I don't know if they'll find it for me or not......

in addition the screw cover molding at the base of the starboard side of my windshield blew out, again while trailering, so I've got Taylor Marine searching out that for me also....

I'll keep you posted if I'm sucessful or not.....if anyone knows of sources for these items I'd appreciate a heads up....thanks
