gaskets for Bomar porthole hatches on 1993 cat 30

[jeff goodwin]

I recently bought a 93 catalina 30 with porholes that leak terribly. The gaskets are shot and I believe the hatches are Bomar (the deck hatches are) The Bomar folks are having difficulty finding which gasket type I need. Does anyone have experience with these and are there any tricks to replacing the gaskets? Does anything else merit replacement at the same time such as springs for the opening dogs? Thanks for your help.

I have an '88 cat 30, mark II model. The hatches are Bomar but the opening ports are Lewmar. You can go to the Lewmar link below and find out what model portlight you have. You need to know the overall exterior size (preferably in metric) and what type of closing latch you have. Then they can give you all of the replacement parts. You can also get some parts from Catalina Direct in california. They have an online catalog.
