Hi Hunter Owners

I have read several past blogs on people replacing and/or repairing the port opening windows on Hunters

I have a Hunter 31 (1983 - 1987 model)

I am just curious if anyone has the cut-out hole dimensions

I have several new replacement models of port windows I can get ...

Just curious before I rip one of them apart to try get hole cut-out dimensions, if anyone by chance has this info so exact length by width for cut-out if possible ....

Mainly I was hoping to replace the standard 6 (that are roughly 7 3/4 in by 14 1/2 inch) .... on main cabin ...

Also, does anyone by chance know the brand name and/or model number of these OEM windows that Hunter installed???

Any help would be most apprciated !

Cheers ....

We bought ours from the HunterOwners store several years ago (6 ? maybe). They were the exact replacements for the ones that came on the boat. We have a 1987 Hunter 31. I think they were Beckson ports. They are plastic but ours lasted 20 years and we replaced them for esthetic reasons, not because they were broken. They still look brand new today but my wife baby's them.

Tip-Sea, are you referring to the opening portholes or the large fixed trapezoidal windows?

Update on H31 1984 Port Lights

Hi All Hunter Owners

Thank you for all the suggestions and info

I ended up taking one (of the main 6) ports out (to see how easy this was and at the same time I managed to get all exact measurements)

I was surprised that they popped out in less then 10 minuted of effort!

I got all measurements and now and ordering Beckson Ports (as best deal up here in Canada)!

Thanks again for all the help !!!

One final question .... the Log fixed main window (i.e. 1 on each side) ... some blogs have suggested simply taking apart and getting new exact cut to size plexy glass cut ... is this as simply as it sounds ... or is this more involved ... to date I have not yet pulled that one out, I will tackle the main 6 (plus 1 in cockpit for rear berth) before replacing main glass ....

Comments welcome ... plexiglas needs replacement as faded, scratched and just plain old and tired looking ....

Cheers all and happy sailing!

We are looking for the trim piece that goes around the trapezoidal window. Just bought our 31 and so far this appears to be one of the only repair needed
