[C320-list] Need help please.....Portlight Gasket

[Becky DeVillier]

Jon,

The hardest part for me was getting the gaskets in the groove, I had to push them in with a small screw driver. I used silicone to fill-in the horizontal gaps and around the gasket from the outside.  We had 2 torrential rain storms - not a drop in the boat. I will be at my boat later today and measure the portlights exactly and let you know.

I can't believe that for all the boats out there I have a unique size. I just ordered the Size 2, but I don't think that will fit either. I will call Catalina on Monday.
> How did you address the horizontal gaps? Did you recaulk them? I can't figure out how to make them uniform so I'm afraid to make a bigger mess of it by sraping them out and redoing. Any advice would be appreciated! This has turned into a classic boat project--what should have been straightforward, not so much....
