Gettin the screens out of a chieftain

[TennChief24]

Can anyone tell me how to get the screens out of a chieftain 25ft. seems the window's don't come all the way back and don't want to mess up the frames to them.
Am trying to get this beast cleaned up before pictures.

Don't know off the top of my head, but will take a peek at mine tomorrow and see if I can figure it out. The windows on mine only slide back about a foot and half; How far are yours opening?

about the same I thought the strip between the windows with screws on the outside removed screws but couldn't get them loose. Thanks

Just remove the 4 screws and they come out.Had to slide mine forward a bit before they would come out though.

Am going to try to post a couple pic's of her if I can from here I'm at work right now and our firewalls won't let us do to much. I bought this
boat in New York in Niagara Falls wish they had coved the boat a little better ( really a lot better ) but it was mine by then. I have about 1500 in the boat by the time I burned large amounts of money on gas jerking her home ( yeah at about 60 trying not to do the weave ). Didn't have any problems with the trip home just didn't care for all the construction though Ohio. The chief starts ok and runs motor looks pretty good just am going to tune up oil changed and the like.

Re: Gettin the screens out of a chieftain

Re: Gettin the screens out of a chieftain

LOL caught a swam of bees today (guess I look stupid running all over the field but I finally got them.) The screen's came out one in three peices and the other sort of bend I do believe they have been in there since 73. Well I will drop off the frames and have a couple made.
I have most of the interior cleaned up but can't seem to locate my Camera.
