Leaking Porthole Windows

[Fishnmike]

I have Bomar 6000 series portholes (portlights) in the cuddy of my 2320. See pic. They were leaking so I recently replaced the gaskets. I removed all the old material and wiped down with acetone before putting the new ones in. Had some rain over the weekend and they both leaked. Can’t tell if leakage is from behind the gaskets or between gasket and windows. I have adjusted the set screws on the dogs to apply more pressure on the windows but that hasn’t helped. Anyone had to deal with this?

Thanks

Mine are fine. Can they be pulled and reinstalled ?

Have you contacted Bomar?

Not in regards to this issue but while searching for new gaskets and dogs they were less than helpful

Curious if replacement windows are available?

I was able to find the glass piece and the entire porthole

M2cw is pull it, fix it or replace it. Take pics to help others

Spent some time looking the portholes over today. Found that in the corners the two sided tape used to secure the gasket had pulled away from the frame. I picked up some good quality weather stripping adhesive and reattached the gasket in the corners. I’ll test with the hose tomorrow

Added the port visors from Seaworthy Goods today. Easy install and should help prevent leakage in addition to the other fixes I’ve made.

What size did you use ... 14 or 15?

I used the 15R.

I did a major washing of the boat yesterday, the Visors kept the water off the windows entirely.

Ordered a set of 15R for my 2320 today. Thanks for the heads up..
