[C320-list] Leaking portlight

[John Ellis]

Bill,

 

I replaced all of the gaskets in my portlights last summer. Several were leaking through the O-rings. They are easy to replace once you pry off the cover with a thin knife, then unscrew the latch. I took one of the old O-rings to a nearby Ace Hardware store and got an exact replacements for about 70 cents each. Since then - no more leaks.

> 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.
