Take a #2 philips screwdriver and make sure the screws on your portlight frames are all tight. I had one that the catch was a bit loose on one side so I went to tighten it's screw a bit. While I was there I checked the others around the frame and noticed several had gotten loose. I noticed this also on a couple of other frames too. It only takes a minute, check yours to be certain they're properly snug.

Thanks for the tip.

What I do is at the beginning of the season I go around with screw drivers and check all screws that I can access all over the boat and tighten up any that have come loose during the past season.

I find hinge screws (for cabinets,entrance doors etc..) tend to come a bit loose from the wave pounding throughout the season and could do with a bit if a tighten.

A good tip Bill, on your advice I went around all of them today and half of them were quite loose.
In fact the ones in the loo(head)were really loose, must be all the thunder
cheers Robbi

good advice, WK. Just like Stingray, the head portlight had several screws loose. Must be the central vibration point in the boat.
