     I may have been screwing down the porthole dogs too tight. I now have three of them leaking. Can anyone recommend a source for replacement gaskets? 

    If I have to make my own, what type of rubber and how thick should they be?  

    Thanks, Eric

    Hello Eric,

    I recently rebuilt all the portlights on Sumna.  After much searching and sleuthing for the gasket material Bud is definetly THE source for the gasket material.
