[C320-list] Leaking portlight

[warren updike]

Port: A hole in the hull of a boat for observation. When below the water
line, a port may have a watertight cover to prevent the ingress of water.
When above the water line, a port may have a cover that can be opened.

Light: is the name used in architecture for a pane of glass or other
transparent material used in a window or door.

Thus, a port light is a transparent material used to close a port from the
weather.

OK. I'll bite. What the hell is a portlight? A porthole with an LED? The red

running light? Or is it a potty light that illuminates the head?

I looked through the archives and could not find the o'ring size.  Does 
anyone know what size o'rings are used on the latches and any tips on 
replacing the gasket?   The portlights are the old style with the twist 
latches.  They do not leak around the outside bedding, but the gasket 
material is in bad shape and it may also be leaking around the o'ring and 
down the latch.



Thanks,

Bill
