If the running lights are mounted to the side of the forward cabin trunk, I have found these to be the cause of leaks into the galley and head porthole windows. On my 34 footer these lights are mounted about 3 feet towards the bow from these port lights and I have had problems keeping them sealed until I switched to a different set of runing lights. LED's from Australia, $38.00 a pair through www.boatshop.com.au . These covered the holes from the old installation and sealed up much better with no leaks from them in over 3 years. No light bulb changes either, which always broke the seal in the old set of lights. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim H" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, November 24, 2008 10:24:07 AM GMT -08:00 US/Canada Pacific Subject: [UnifliteWorld] Re: Leaks
West Marine sells a liquid called Captain Creep. It is a white liquid about like milk that sneaks in the seals around windows ect and then dry to seal any leaks. I have used it for years and it really works well.
