[C320-list] Water in light fixtures

[Marko Jamnik]

I had a similar problem . I realized that I was getting a leak from the Portlight. If you notice on the older Catalinas (304) the outside frame is divided in two pieces. The seal over time has started to breakdown and that's where my water was coming in and somehow finding it's way to the lights. I have since cleaned out the old seal and replaced it with a fresh sealer. Not a drip in sight. This may only be one of the avenues.
