I live on the Jones Creek in Midway GA. We have an 8' tide swing. When the tide runs out it moves at about 3 MPH, east bound. I return to the dock west bound, U-turn, and approach the dock east bound. I have a high dock with a ramp to a lower floating dock, the boardwalk to the high dock heads north/south, the ramp to the lower dock runs east/west with the lower dock on the east side of the high dock. I have to pass the high dock to arrive at the lower dock. I made my U-turn and was lined up pretty good to pull along side the lower dock. As I got closer I thought I was a little too close to the high dock, I tapped the bow thruster to move a little left, when I did that the current took the stern and swung it to the right. I didn't have time to even think about trying to recover. The corner of the high dock came in the drivers side window, bounced off and took out the rear side window. I don't see any other damage. I think I got lucky in that regard. I filled my claim...
Now the question, Does Fluid Motion sell the windows I'll need to replace these?
 
They had them available 3 years ago when the starboard side cockpit window broke. They shipped one to me so I’m guessing they’d be able to help you or get you in the right direction. I had a local glass shop install mine.

Bummer about the glass breakage. Love to see a pic of the damage so I can more fully answer your question.

I'm not sure if they are still the supplier for Fluid Motions, but it's worth a try! Bob
