port lite problems

[keelboatsailor43]

Hello everyone,
I hope someone can help me on this. I bought a 1978 Huntter 25, and am completely refitting it. one problem I am coming across is the port lites. Hunter doesn't have them, nor does the manufacturer exist anymore. Any ideas on where to get them fabricated? They are fixed, and there are 2 in the head, and 4 in the cabin. Also has anyone had leaks between the laminate? When I removed the port, the plywood between the laminate was rotted and soggy, it may be from the port, but I think it also may be from the topside above cabin. Hw do you check for that?
The chain plates, those u bolts are so close to the toerail, it is next to impossible to get the stays connected, can you remove those and put a longer assy inplace of those?

Thank you
Mike

Mike:

What manufacturer are you referring to that does not exist any longer?

Bomar is still in business. They are now part of Pompanette.

Steve,
Thank you for the reply.
I checked with Hunter and the manufacturer was bought out by Mark Plastics. I have talked with them and they cannot do anything for me. I did however, come across a company called "Select Plastics" in Conn, they maybe able to do for me.

Rgeards,
