Lewmar port light

[sailliny]

The Lewmar port light in the main cabin on the starboard side seems to be leaking. I pulled the decorative covering on the inside and found a bit of water.
Before I pull it out and re-bed I was wondering if anyone has replace gasket that seals the port when closed? Anyone know the model and or part # needed. I got the follow number off the Plexiglas window s218 04e0 but can’t seem to cross reference.

Do you know exactly where it's leaking from . Sometimes simply cleaning the glass where it makes contact with the gasket will solve the problem. Last week when I went to the boat I found the all of my starboard ports were dripping, while the port side ones were not. When I checked the glass, there was a grime ring on each of the sb side ones, since that has been the apparent weather side this winter, and the port sides were all clean and not leaking. Cleaned them up, no more drip.

Armor All

Jack's idea to clean the glass is a good one. Another one is to use Armor All or some other protectant on the rubber to rejuvenate it a bit.

Depending on the Lewmar port you have, you can tighten screws to stop leaking too. Not enough information.

Clean lens and gasket as advised, I like to rub some water pump impellor lube on the gaskets, seems to help condition them.
The opening lewmar ports on a 310 are probably size 1RE, new lens ($95) and Gaskets (~ $35) from Catalina Direct, if you call their tech guy he can help.

I had the same problem with several of my port lights. I tried replacing the gaskets and that proved useless. The new gaskets did not fit properly into the exiting slots. Defender Industries claimed they were the correct size for my port lights. I finally cleaned up the "old" gaskets and rebedded using silicone. No more leaks!
