[C320-list] Free old-style Lewmar opening portlights, standard, size 1

[Gene Gammon]

I used Captain Tolley's leak seal http://www.captaintolley.com/  and I have no leaks on my #351, 1996.  Also filled it the black gap between upper and lower two piece aluminum frame with silicone.  I never removed, just cleaned, went around all fittings, and wiped off excess.
Used on my chainplates also.

Traces and fills hairline cracks. Most leaks are caused by tiny cracks, often hidden to the eye. Formulated to be thinner than water, Captain Tolley’s actively draws into them using capillary action.

Just wondering what you replaced
your old Lewmars with?  I have the same old standard, size 1 Lewmars on my boat, Hull #644 and I’m exasperated with the ongoing leak problems.  I removed them this fall and reseated them with Butyl rubber, changed the gaskets and replaced all then O-rings but I still have leaks around the gasket plexiglass contact
Points.  I thought just to replace the four Portlights with the new standard Lewmars
