 I know this my be a silly question but I do noy have a curtain for the window in the head.  I have always been a bit afraid of drilling holes in fiberglass.  I am moving my boat this summer and the boat next to me is a flybridge and I donot want them looking into our head.  How or what have you guys done to install a curtain or other device to keep people from looing in.  Is it safe to put a curtain strip in securing it with screws??

We use the suction cup hooks around the boat and they stay put, the kind that hold wreaths to windows at Christmas, can't see why you couldn't use them to hold a small curtin rod.

Mikes342,

I went to Home Depot or Lowes (can't remember) and got some window film that you can not see through but lets light in, the kind you would use on bathroom windows at home.

It sticks with static and no adheasive.

Took care of the problem.  No holes.

I have seen the slide tracks for curtains and wouldn't mind installing one.  I have been hesitant because I am afraid to put a hole through the fiber glass to the outside.  If  the head walls are a shell it shouldn't be a problem
