1981 Hunter 30 portlights

[Lee Adkison]

I'm looking to replace the portlights on my 30. One has just broken the molding where the latch pin is anchored on the inside rim. I can see these crack on almost all of the ports (they're the originals). It would be fine to just replace the inside frame if thats possible but I don't know where I would find good used ports. New ones are extremely expensive. I've heard about Thrifty Mariner but it seems to be out of operation. Any help would be great.

Not many options.

You can get the part number(s) from Pompanette(Related Link). Then West Marine/Boat US will normally order that number and get you a better price.I think you will find that used ones are also cracked, that is why they were removed. That inside frame IS the portlight. The spigot(part that goes through the hole to the outside) and that frame are all one piece. The frame outside is just a trim ring. Some of the parts can be purchased separately: the lens, the knobs, and the rubber seal.
