H37C portlights

[Chuck]

Could one (or more) of you H37C guys tell me the model number of the Bomar/Gray portlights that go in the forward cabin and over the head and bathroom sink? These are the small ones. I have replaced all the larger ports and now want to finish the job. Thanks

here's a number

Chuck,I suspect they are the same for all vendors, but mine came from Sailnet (if it matters) and were:Bomar/Gray replacement portlights and the code was 512AD (two additional letters indicate whether clear or smoked lens).Check the Sailnet website and download the catalog. It takes a bit of looking but you can find them.Or give them a call, which is what I found simpler.They run around $85 at Sailnet.The sales person (John) was very knowledgable... My most recent ourchase was for the larger size, but I have both stacked up and awaiting my next trip to the boat.Any hints about installation not already coverd in recent posts?Good luck,Sanders

Thanks, Sanders. I've been in Mexico for the last several months so I haven't been keeping up on the forums. I don't know what others have written, but I found the replacements to be pretty straightforward. I did find a bit of dry rot in the plywood around one of the ports. I simply dug out the rotted material and fitted in new pieces of wood as best I could, using 3M 5200 to fill the small voids.
