[C320-list] Port light?

[Joshua Heazlewood]

I have also gone down the path of replacing the O-rings on the dogs with
the kit from Catalina Direct. But I still get water forming and dripping
inside.The frame joints seem to have been sealed by a previous owner. May
need resealing, could be worth a try.

Has anyone had any luck reducing leaks using PortVisors from SeaWorth
Goods? I wonder whether they would reduce the buildup of rain, especially
on the seal. The upside with these is that you can open the portlight when
it rains.
