Leak - Forward, Starboard Portlight

[Lavender54]

Hi, Looking for any assistance you can provide. The forward, starboard portlight on my H41DS is leaking. The leak is in the lower left corner. It appears that the inner frame can be removed. Has anyone had this problem and, if so, how have you addressed it? Thanks.

We had a similar problem on our HV'36. I removed all of the caulking around the portlight (fixed) and cleaned it out to the best of my ability. I then recaulked it with DOW795 and the problem went away. Our setup does not have frames, but water was enter from the outside so that is where I attacked the problem.

Steve, Thanks for the feedback. I was thinking from the inside because it appears that the access is easier, but you raise a good point. In any event, inside out or outside in - I clearly have a seal problem of some type.
