[C320-list] Source of Leak

[Jack Fitzgibbon]

We had the same problem when we first bought our boat.  You may need to
replace the gaskets seals around .  Overtime, the gaskets become compressed
and are no longer effective.  We replaced all of our main cabin, and one in
the aft cabin, opening port light gaskets and that solved the leak problem.
We avoid over tightening the cam type latches and just tighten  enough to
make the seal.

Hmm.  Three of the four opening ports in the main cabin have small
leaks I haven't been able to locate.  (Drench them with a hose for 20
minutes - nothing.  But given some rain...)

I wonder if it is worth trying this stuff before pulling and re-
bedding them?  Any thoughts?
