H37C Portlights

[Chuck Curtis]

I want to replace some of the portlight lenses on my 1982 H37C. Yeah, the much maligned plastic Bomar/Gray ones. I have the model number for the large ports, but I don't know the model number for the smaller ones in the head/vanity and forward cabin. The Bomar/Gray people (Pompanette) say they can't tell me which model without my giving them dimensions. Problem is, my boat's in Mexico and I'm in Oregon for the summer! Can any of you H37C owners help me out?

Portlight sizes and model numbers

The portlight model numbers are; Large #715-AD, overall size 9 5/8 x 17 3/4, and the small ones are #512-AD, overall size 7 13/16 x 14 11/16. You can buy these from Thriftymariner.com. He sells seconds, but the ones I got were fine, and any defects were very trivial. Note, his site lists the overall sizes, but incorrectly calls them cutout size. for your reference, the proper model numbers are gotten from www.pompanette.com

Thank you very much, Edward and Pat. I really appreciate your help. I will check out Thriftymariner; it's the first I have heard of them.

also try sailnet

JSI, which is now Sailnet, also had them discounted quite a bit. If the seconds idea worries you, you might try them. Seems like mine were about 40% below list (what you'd pay directly to Bomar).
