just a thought,
just bought a beneteau 351 with lewmar port holes/windows and they all leaked, some a little and some a lot. some one had gone mad with a mastic gun on two of them and had made a right cock up of the seals. i spent 3hrs cleaning one up and became quite au fait with how they work. the locking handles pass thru the acrylic and are sealed with an O ring. I flipped out the blind plug on the inside of the port locking handle, unscrewed the fixing screw and took the handle apart, vaseline on the spindle and O ring and reassemble moderately tight.
lo and behold no leaks !!
the moral is it is not always the obvious that is the prob so check the thru glass closing handle seals as well, Oh and when a brokerage tells you that it can fix it tell them to keep the mastic gun away!!
