Replace porthole?
Replace porthole?
Does anyone know a source for getting a replacement porthole? The plastic in our head porthole was scratched pretty badly and we would like to replace it (just the clear plastic).

hi mac,
not sure this will help but we have the plastic ports also. i've bought the rubber gaskets and they were from beckson. their catalog is online.

Hi John, thanks for the suggestion. I didn't see anything on Beckson's site, but I think I found the right source: Bomar SS Flagship Portlights... Not yet sure if this is the right size, but mine looks exactly like this: BOM-SSFlagshipPorts-01

No, my outer flange is stainless. Only the lens is plastic. Bomar will get my call today.
Thanks for helping clarify the source.

Re: Replace porthole?
Well, I learned some things over several phone calls to Pompanette about this: 1) in every phone call the person commented about how overwhelmed they are; 2) they said they had ONE "lens" for the porthole left; 3) that was not true... their inventory system was not accurate -- they do not have any more plastic lenses for the portholes on our boats; and 4) they do NOT plan to place an order for more. They have disignated this part as "obsolete". (They said the supplier requires an order of 500 units),
So, anyone got a spare plastic "lens" for a porthole and is willing to sell it?
