I just purchased a 1988 322. I have discovered that both Beckson portholes installed in the plexiglass larger ports have slow leaks on the inside around the outside of the frame, and also in heavy rain through the seal in the port. For the former problem I tried putting clear silicon calck around the outside, but to no benefit. According to the West Marine people there is no seal or gasket for Beckson ports. I am reluctant to pull the whole thing out for fear of making it worse unless as a last resort. Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Larry

Larry, go to www.beckson.com

You can order portlights and/or parts directly from them. I just recently ordered new lenses because the old ones were so worn and scratched I could barely see through them. Thanks to Justin who gave me that info a while back. Tom

Larry - Check out Beckson.com, then call West Marine and see if they can get the parts out of the warehouse. They are out to lunch if they say they can't get Beckson parts. I used to work for West Marine and got parts from Beckson all the time. Justin - O'day Owners' Web
