So, the two main ports and main cabin ports have started leaking like a sieve. Of course, it's been raining a lot in NC the past two months, after 6 months of no rain. Lewmar gaskets look to be hard to find online. Any thoughts out there for where to find them?

Try torreson.com (I think) I ordered a complete set of gaskets there, prices were not too bad (for strips of rubber). I fitted one so far - to stop the dripping into my VHF radio, rest are still on the boat awaiting fitment.. It was a bit of a pain to remove the old gasket - theres a groove around the port that the gasket pushes into - and of course, its rubber sealant'ed into the groove.. The groove has to be really clean before the new one is installed.. Heres what I ordered for my 281:- (Lewmar old standard portlight) My notes say they were approx $12 per seal. Cockpit/bathroom X2 Lewmar size 0 (176x323mm) Part number 19898500 Above Elec Panel and Above Galley X2 Lewmar size 1 (191x367mm) Part number 19898600 Front two ports X2 Lewmar size 4 (191x646mm) Part number 19898900 I have other numbers written down too, so drop me an email if you'd like..
