[C38] the goose has problems

[Duff, Russ (R.W.)]

I also added new gaskets to my opening ports (center of the saloon, and in
the head).  I was able to get it from West Marine. Use the tubular shaped
stuff. It is very easy to use. I bought some automotive gasket sealer to
glue the ends of the loop together.  I now have no leaks from there either.

Sincerely,

Russ Duff

My majoorleaks are in the opening ports the gaskets do
not seal. Are these the ones that I can get from
Catalina direct? My stearing pedistal isn't leaking
the rudder post has a small leak. I am not sure if
that is causing the binding I am going to have the
yard look at it whilesd it's out. Thanks for your
help. Bill
