Portlight Assembly Replacement

I am considering replacing the Lewmar portlights on our 1998 MK II, #1687, instead of continuing to try to address leaks.  Therefore, I have the following questions:

1) Several years ago in the email list there was reference to another portlight that would fit with some slight enlargement of the current opening.  Anyone have that info?

2) What model/size of the Lewmar was originally installed?

3) If someone has done this, what model/size did you get from Lewmar and how difficult was it to do this project?

4) If just addressing leaks, what is the usual problems and fixes?

5) I have noticed that on one of my portlights, the rubber gasket is becoming unattached to the frame.  What is the best product to reattach the gasket and maintain a seal?

I have sent an email to Lewmar and waiting for a response, which I will share with the association if it is informational.  I did search the forum but did not find any recent, helpful information or discussions.
