Bavaria Ocean window leaks
« on: August 05 2012, 19:19 »
Hi

Has anyone stripped the windows down and re- seated them? If so is there a seal that needs to be replaced or do you mastic them back in?

Hi Mike - are you talking about a leak in the metal port frame or the acrylic window/rubber seal?  Then again the port a Rutgerson or Lewmar?

The metal frame as I'm getting water in a locker in the main cabin and the only place I can think of that's leaking. Since tightening the small screws the leak has diminished but not stopped. I think they are Lewmar.

Hope this helps

Mike

Here are two lewmar links from another thread on this forum.  It's a start.  I have Rutgerson ports on our boats so I can't really comment from experience with the lewmar ports.
