Ok All...
Counting on you guys for help on this one. I've been working on rebedding my portlights (as has been previously mentioned) and was "unhappy" upon returning to the boat on Sunday after a big rain. Still having a good deal of leakage. I'm posting a picture to show where it's leaking. It appears to be leaking in from the aluminum frame from inside the frame itself through a threaded hole and into the latch point. Any ideas here? the gaskets seem fine, and the re-bedding went really well. So I'm trying to figure out where the water is getting inside the frame.
Any and all thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
PS. I plan to continue to re-bed the rest, simply because it's time, but I'm not going to continue if replacement is my only option here. Replacement = $1400, so that's not the prefered option either.
