On the interior side of my fixed portlight there is a 1/2" rubber gasket. It fills a gap/channel in the frame around the glass. It appears to be only cosmetic; not really sealing anything. Is this the case?
I looked at the portlights yesterday on the 27 that is being parted out in Long Beach. The measurements on the outside match my ports but I am not sure the interior flange is the same; I neglected to look at mine before I went down there. Anyone know if the original ports on these boats were the same?
The interior flanges on the 27 ports are in better condition than mine and I was thinking of trying to use those (or the complete ports) on my boat. On my boat it appears that someone tried to fix leaking by just cranking down on the screws on the inside rather than re-bedding the ports; the flanges are now distorted.
Also, there was someone here that had a bunch of gasket material for these ports and was selling it. Anyone recall who that was and was it the gasket for mounting the glass or the interior gasket?
