Default Beckson port leaking

The lugs on the frame of the port right over about where your right
eye would be while lying in the forward V berth popped off. It wasn't
because it was soon after we got the boat and we never slept aboard it
the rain. I can just imagine a sleepy and frustrated person reaching
up and turning, and turning, and turning....

Fortunately, it's fairly easy to fabricate new lugs out of aluminum
angle and screw them on.

Over tightening the dogs is not good, either.
