I just replaced the glued in ports on a small 26 footer. I put them in with LifeSeal. The manufacturer currently puts them in with silicone. The ports are around 4 feet long but the opening does have a post in the middle for strength.
I can't help but wonder why not put the newer C&C ports in with a more flexible adhesive? I understand they are supposed to be structural and that stiff adhesives are conventional wisdom but is it absolutely necessary? I guess without a structural engineer revisiting any calculations that Rob Ball did, we may never know. Just idle curiosity. Dennis C.
