Sealing Leaks in Lewmar Old Standard Portlights

[cymeyer]

Got this from a friend of mine (Tim Porter) years ago. Tried it once and didn't do it right.
The key this time was using a caulk gun and some clear silicone. Took about 30 min per window and worked great.

Wish I had this a few years ago, however I figured out it was the seam ,but I used dow 795 for the fix taped either side of seam and forced it in with my finger. No leaks since

Mechone,
I did something similar years ago and it didn't last.
If you get another drip, try removing the inside screws and filling with silicone.

Bed it tape from Marine how to site.

That works great for rebedding a window ,however this is a different problem that would not be fixed with bedding tape . It's the seam in the frame
