Tiara Open 1988 3300 Open - Leaking Porthole - Advice
#9
I did a “temp” fix for all my portholes. There is a joint on the outside frame. I cut out as much sealant as I could, cleaned with acetone, and caulked with life seal. Also put a bead all around the outside of the frame.

It worked!!!! No more soaked walls!!!! The gaskets were all in great shape. Over the winter I’ll pull them all out and rebed them.

For my overhead bomar hatches I did the same thing around the acrylic, and replaced the gaskets.

Cabin is now completely water tight…. Onto the next project.
