[C320-list] Leaking portlight

Andy,

 

My Bowmar gasket is in good shape so I didn't replace it.  The guys in the marina service department recomended Boatlife caulking over the tape.  My neighbor has a C36 that had a Bowmar leak issue.  After he watched me he decided to do his as well.  He started removing screws and noticed the gasket shrunk a little and pulled out of the corner.  We simply stretched it and then put a couple dabs of super glue and is now water tight.  

 

Bill
