What is this port?

I need to replace the gaskets, screens and lenses on these ports, but have no idea what they are. Pretty sure they are not Lewmar. Any thoughts?

It's a Beckson Newport. Personally I hate them and want to do something different when the time comes. Bomar or Newfound Metals maybe

I'm updating all my screens to No-See-Ums material and using silicone spray lube on the rubber to dress them like I do for car door seals. I'd really like to figure out a way to also put screens on the forward 4 ports that don't have screens actually if anyone has any ideas.

The name of the Manufacturer should be printed somewhere in the frame. Check Bomar-Pompanette LLC. They have Gray, Hood and other assorted fabricators.

If it is the same one that is above the stove, it is a Beckson C-310 CP-26 10 x 4. I replaced mine in 2015 because a crew member turned the close knob too tight and broke it out at the mount. I tried several different repairs, gave up and bought a new one. At the time it was $175. Expensive at half the price.
I'd very much like to meet the engineer that designed it and let him/her know they need another line of work.

Thanks All. Definitely looks like a Beckson Rain Drain (Opening Ports by Beckson or PO310). Since I am not in love with them, just need to repair or replace perhaps I will consider alternatives.

FWIW, it looks like this site carries all the replacement parts I need. Big item is a new lens as one is cracked, but the screens and gaskets are pretty reasonable. Just going to double check the sizes and get them.

But while we are griping I am no fan of the Lewmar Ports and their screens either.
