Porthole Fix

That’s today’s project. Bummer is, it’s not even on The List! Ann noticed it looked suspect when she was cleaning/polishing the cabin sides. I took a closer look and yup, the outer flange/seal was starting to come loose. Next step for that is a leak and core damage. Glad we caught it early.

So…hammer, chisel and wedges to break the seal, then lots of scraping to clean the old gunk. Now some epoxy to fill in some voids and the old screw holes – let dry a couple days and put it all back together with new sealant.

Flange pried off, cleaning out the old sealant.

Another exciting day in life aboard Charisma!
