I've been thinking of adding something like sika flex to the bottom edge of the inner ring
I figure in doing this it will slope any rain or water away from coming into the cabin
Just not sure what material to use
I think if I added enough with the fly wires in place it will fix this problem and also it will assist in the Port lights never leaking





?


It's basically at this level and the inner ringit will also. Make an extra backing for the fly wires
Have thought of making some teak trim the seal that in place

like the teak idea fitted on with sika, have seen it done on bronze ports in the past where bits of bronze were brazed on

I think it would be an easier managed result
Than just adding sealant alone
