[C320-list] Leaking port replacements

[JJ Morrison]

Herb;
Have you tried replacing the gasket between the two halves of the frame on the outside of the portlights? All four of mine were leaking and I doug out and replaced the original gasket with 3M 4200, now nary a drop leaks.
Cheers

Rather than rebuilding them I was interested to see if anyone on the list had actually replaced them with a third part port other than Lewmar. I plan on looking at the up coming sailboat show but wanted some advance information if possible.
