Leaky front port problems

Bob,
I wonder if a bead of silicone could be applied to the edge of a nearly-closed window, then tightened? There is a special 3M product available, unique to the plastic in our windows, I can provide a contact name if you want to try it out. I have the same issue to deal with on Mary Jane. A gasket replacement might be available from the manufacturer if we can describe window dimensions with accuracy. Does anyone know if the opening port for our boat has a product #? Stan might be able to supply a current product # from his order records.

I got a used pair of opening ports directly from Stan. He was the
first to recommend going with fixed ports instead, because the opening ports would leak. Still, I insisted on the opening ports for the added ventilation. So... I intend to take a great deal of care mounting them to insure a tight seal against the cabin top. If the opening ports leak, I'll just do some detective work to figure out why. My gut feeling is that there is some underlying cause that can be corrected, like the ports not being mounted absolutely flat and even. Or torqued unevenly... whatever. Cheers!
