Portlight Seals

[marco.luske]

Hi all.

I've just purchased a 2005 Catalina 34 MKII. Unfortunately day 1 on board coincided with a massive downpour and 6 of the portlights leaking at the bottom of the seal. The size is a SZ18 according to what is stamped on the glass but I can't seem to find what seal replacement kit that relates to. Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Marco

Congratulations!

Shamrock's leaked the first season I had her.  I cleaned the seals well with a little alcohol then applied a very thin film of Superlube.  That was 20 seasons ago and haven't leaked since.  Now that's part of my spring maintenance.

I hope you enjoy your C34 as much as I enjoy Shamrock,
Jim
