Has anyone concidered fitting a fixed port light to the rear of the starboard side of a 260 so that not only can you get more light into the rear bunk but also lay there and check the views? Would it be possible Crazy Dave?

Got it - it works great!
The previous owner set me up great. The port provides additional light and a means of easily looking out to check your position from the aft berth.

Thanks Douglas
It looks great. I am wondering if there is much space between the liner and the out hull?

The port is attached to the hull and not the inner liner. IF the inner liner is wobbly, then you will need to get some marine putty and/or glass resin to put between the liner and the hull just to give the liner some rigidity. You should get a trim ring with the port and you can cut it down so it fits over the port but yet it will not protrude from the inner liner. That is the only reason why I would stabilze the liner if it isn't already. Crazy Dave Condon

Thanks Dave
I guess the reason why I have asked is my concern for the stuctual integrity. It would be nice to get some more light and the view! Thanks Dave. Your input is, as always, much appreciated and respected.
