Port shades/covers

[rgranger]

Hi All

I saw these covers on a boat ad and thought there were great... but the search terms I have tried have not produced any results. Anyone know what these are called and who sells them?

Ooops

Nevermind.... I found them.

I've been thinking of getting some of these for my boat also. They look quite nice. They are low on my list right now, go more pressing matters to address but those would be nice...

My boat neighbor has these on his Catalina 34. His claim is that it is the only way to keep Leaky Lewmar ports from leaking. He tried replacing the gaskets, which failed to stop the leaks. His rain shields have worked flawlessly for years now. I've got a leaky lewmar and am thinking about doing this myself.

Even if your ports don't leak... I can see these being the bomb in a hot and stuffy anchorage without the worry of an evening rain shower.

Exactly why I'm looking to add them on. I have two windows right over my aft cabin bed and when it's raining out - it sure would be nice to have ventilation without getting the bed wet...
