Round porthole leak.

[Jfrano]

Wondering if anyone has had to deal with leak from round porthole. Is there a replaceable Seal?
Is a small drip leak down the teak, over the sink. I tightened the screws on the porthole, which seemed to make it
Slightly worse but overnight it is now dry. Of course we had plenty of
Rain in NYC with the hurricane/TS.

Thanks

I've run into the same problem before. The large round gasket was pinched sometime in the past. I have to tighten the porthole really tight to prevent a leak. I've not been able to find a replacement gasket in the 3 years I've owned the boat. I figure that if I ever get to the point that I can't keep a seal, I'll have to remove the gasket and take it to a shop and have one made. I've done that before for other flat round gaskets for my homebrew setup. Google "gasket manufacturer" locally so you can bring in the old one so they can make a match. Then have them make extras for each of your portholes. Good luck.

I guess you checked with RT parts for the seal?

Most hardware stores sell gasket material, you could always cut out and make your own! Bob

Port holes are a perfect application for good old butyl tape. Simple, inexpensive, but most of all it just works.
