Fixed Portlight Leak - Seal Replacement
«

I have a leak on the deck fixed portlight on my B37 2006 - one of two near the base of the mast (see photo). I have removed and resealed the flange edge as that seal was gone but water is still coming in through the trim and so I suspect the acrylic window seal has given up too. There are no numbers visible so does anyone know the part number for this portlight? It is not listed (anymore) in the Lewmar catalogue
Thanks.

All I can say is good luck with Lewmar. There are some others that do try to help CONTACT ANDY ON 01752 481303 OR 07970108712 he really went out of his way to try to help me from over there. 😃

Did you find a solution since the posting? Same problem here, both windows started to leak no spares according to Bav Dealer.

Fixed it with a 30mm x 2mm strip of neoprene. Just crossed Biscay from Dartmouth and all bone dry
Clean
everything
and shape the strip to fit (little bit fiddly but it doesn't have to be perfect). Push fixed portlight back into its hole and screw through the neoprene. Trim oversize with sharp blade. This leaves a black edge under the portlight but it's not ugly. Source for neoprene:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RUBBER-STRIP-2-0mm-thick-BLACK-GENERAL-PURPOSE-SOLID-NEOPRENE/262587535617?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIM.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D43781%26meid%3Dd387e84b2fe14667a13cab0288f0b667%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D262587535617&var=561466238230
cost: £7.82 incl. p/p
cost for wrong type of seal from Clipper: £53 and still trying to get my money back
