MJM Offering Sliding Safety Glass Option

Looking Aft on 50z #5 Having Just a Single Sliding Pane


Shown on 50z #5 (above and below) is MJM's first installation of tinted sliding glass panels instead of clear roll-up Strataglass. This option is also available on the 36z and 40z.  The forward half remains on the outside, effectively opening half of what’s possible with Strataglass.  The added expense of vented small forward windows is not necessary because of powered windshields, overhead vent hatches and the large opening adjacent to the piloting seats when glass is slid aft.


NEW Fully-Opening Powered Windshields


The Boss Checking Operation of Power Windows on 50z #4
The trend today is for opening up living spaces for better visibility and fresh air.  Nothing does that better than these new MJM fully-opening windshields. A 1st in the industry!  Self-contained, motorized, synchronous actuators (telescoping pistons) are attached to windshields and frames with robust hardware and are operated by 3 rocker switches at the helm. Windshields are held firmly in place at any angle. They close with a solid thunk, so lock-down dogs (seen on lower edge of window frame) are rarely used.   Standard on the 50z and an option on the 29z, 36z and 40z. Here are the benefits: (1) Opening boat -  get instant fresh air; (2) Docking or Anchoring – talk to crew; (3) Into the wind - open them an inch or two; (4) Harbor cruising - open them all the way up.
