[C320-list] Leaking portlight

Tue May 19 14:22:22 PDT 2009

Bill.

My forward Bomar hatch is leaking as well and I need to order that
gasket.  Would you mind telling me what  your part number was for that
particular gasket?  I have followed the recommendations of others on the
list by ordering the mounting tape, rather than using the liquid, to
re-bed the hatch.

Andy,

They are the correct gaskets.  My gaskets were not leaking, I replaced
them as preventive maintenace because they were porous and spongy.  I
did have a pin hole leak that was in the horizontal caulking joint that
is outside half way up the portlight.  I ended up pulling all of the
port lights out and re-bed them, re-cauked the joint, replaced the
gaskets, and the o-rings.  I was having so much fun, I did the forward
Bomar hatch too.

Bill
