Thank you Tino I have watched all your videos and they have added greatly to my confidence in tackling similar maintenance and improvements on our Beneteau 411.I especially like the step by step explanations Easy to follow. Thank you again. Daniel
Sounds great :) - The other place where the portlight can leak is by the foam seal around in the sides, I have also made a video about it th-cam.com/video/d5-b7duZckI/w-d-xo.html
Thanks Jan. Hope to find some solutions to the many mysterious problems many people have on there boats. There is very litle information out there how to fix lewmar portlights without just switching to a new rubber seal. A new seal costs about 60 US dollars.
Hi Tino! I want my portlight acrylic glasses to be as transparent as the first day. Yours are like so. How can I provide transparency for them? Wax and polish can work?
Great informative videosTino. I enjoy watching and learning from your videos. Great tips too. I have a quick question: i have a volvo Penta 2030 and am getting oil leak right from the bottom of the engine, dripping into the holding bilge. Ido you think it is easily fixable without having to get an engineer out? Thanks. Emre
Thanks :) It depends on where the oil is leaking from, but I know a normal fault is when people fill to much oil on the engine and it will leak, you must not fill over the MAX on the dipstick.But I think a good place to start is to locate the leak, maybe it is a easy fix.
@@ΗΛΙΑΣΚΑΝΤΖΟΣ I know the Tec7 is only available in some countries and sometime also hard to find in Denmark europe. Tec7 is a special product so I don't know if sikaflex can do the job. You need something there can bond rubber and aluminium, maybe loctite or 3M has something useable. I'll try to find something similar to Tec7 and let you know 😊

Tino, I have just bought a Bavaria 36 and used this video to repair a leaky port light. Thanks for the video.

Hey Emre, did you locate the leak? Thanks.
If you give the aluminium catches at the bottom a few light taps with a small hammer, the catches will grip tighten.
Tino, did it worked finally?
Yes the trick with the Tec7 did fix the leak, have not seen any leaks since.
@@twiper Thanks a lot for that! I ll try it but the thing is i cant find TEC 7 sealant around , maybe sicaflex?
