Mark, Your boat is now 40 years old.....you might want to consider not replacing 40 year old parts and methods with the same 40 year old stuff....
15 years ago, I replaced my 1977 ..38 ports with new Lewmar opening ports...with screens included.... The openings on mine were about 1/8" smaller and it was a no brainer go enlarge them a bit .....the result is a nice clean .modern look and functioning ports.... Pictures available on request. Ron C.

I have a 1977 C&C 30 Mark 1. The portlights were replaced previously by the PO and I don't think they were done correctly, so I don't have a reference to go by to do it right. Are there any diagrams showing how the plexiglas fits into the frame, where caulk should be applied, and how the gasketing should fit (ie, I need a cross-section drawing of the window construction so I can do it right). I'm not trying to be lazy, but I can't figure out how to search these archives. _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
