Replacement porthole gaskets

Post by NedKathyZ »

We have a 1978 Albin 33 that needs new gaskets for the four bronze portholes. I can't find anything on the porthole unit identifying who made them. I haven't been able to find a gasket that seems to fit. Do any of you have any idea which company may have made the porthole units and better yet, the source of a replacement gasket? Thanks for any help you can provide.

I had to repair a dog on a stainless port this past spring which required portlight removal. I contacted Bomar for a replacement gasket and they replied for me to just use any neoprene gasket material available as they don't sell replacements.

After that response I decided to to use Butyl tape as this is what I use to seal all deck hardware and fittings. It worked perfectly and as always better than any gasket material or any type of caulk.

This is the producth that I use:
