Hunter 1981 36 ft

[misha93]

Dear all,
This is regarding Grey Series portlights of Bomar/Pompanette. They pretty much look like the ones that originally installed in my 30-year old 36 ft Hunter 1981.
I need to replace the two of them with 4 and 5 dogs (knobs). As per Grey sprcification they are listed as Models 724 and 818 respectively.
Could any one confirm that the portlights are the same as originally placed before I ordrer them.
What is suggested method of removing the old portlights and installing the new ones?
Thank you in advance,

Michael

Those would not be the right numbers for my 1979 H37C. On most Cherubinis the small ports we called "5x12s" and the large ones "7x15s". Measuring the outside spigot, outer edge to outer edge, yields the right dimensions. On my boat that would be the G512 and the G715. But they are an exact match depending upon tint/no tint.

There are several replacement projects documented in "Hunter Owners Modifications". Here is one: http://hunter.sailboatowners.com/in...&cat_id=38&aid=7383&page=article&mn=37-cutter .

P.S. I neglected to mention that they are available here on SBO. Sorry Phil.

I can confirm that Grey ports were OEM on the Hunters of that era. Sizing instructions can be found here:
