1986 O'day 28 port lights

Anyone with this boat tried to buy replacement parts or same size port lights have any luck. I'm having trouble finding any that are exactly the same size.

Thanks, Bill

D&R Marine.com is a great source for O'Day replacement parts.

I checked their website and no mention of port lights in their parts list.

Port lights are the small windows that open and have a screen to keep the bugs out.

My 1986 O'Day 272 uses Beckson Opening Ports. My boat came standard with Self-draining Ports that didn't self drain. When opening rain water would always be present. Last year I Installed Beckson's Rain Drain ports. www.beckson.com/ports.html . My guess is that O'Day used the same source of supply in 1986. I can't tell you how many times I've been to Regatta Pointe Marina looking at Boats! ...and having cake sandwhichs at the restaurant on the dock.

Thanks for the info. I would think O'day would use the the same company in a given year for their boats.

The riverside cafe is a pretty nice place to eat also.
