Leaky Salon Ports

Beneteau Oceanis 48 Gulfport, Mississippi
The fixed windows on both sides of the raised deck over the salon on my 2013 Oceanis 48 have both developed serious leaks in the last few months. The dealer I bought her from suggested this might be the source of rain entering the boat. Kind of disappointing on a boat the new and this big. Has anyone else had this experience? How was it resolved?

Your fixed port leaks do seem premature for a 2013 model. Do a search for "replacing fixed ports" on this site and you'll find lots of posts explaining how to re-bed them. The majority of people who have done this job prefer using Dow 795 sealant. (including me)
