Abstract: A boat window having a removable screen which, in one embodiment, directly carries a louver and which can be easily installed in the window frame or removed therefrom as a single unit, so as to facilitate replacement with a conventional window screen, if desired. The louver forms a water shield which directly engages the screen frame adjacent to its top edge, so as to reduce the likelihood of water splashing through upper portions of the screen. The window comprises a frame body having a mounting flange and spigot, for installation in an opening in the boat hull. A window pane is hingedly connected to the mounting flange, and adapted to close off the space formed by the spigot. Most or all portions of the louver lie within the confines of the spigot, so as not to protrude any substantial extent, thereby reducing the likelihood of damage to the louver from inadvertent contact with other objects.
