If the exterior frames are in good condition (no kinks, minimal corrosion), it’s definitely worth doing. Pull out the grey gasket and the lens just comes out. Drill out the rivets, undo the bolts, remove the frames and clean them up. You can throw out the interior rings if you decide to fill

Rich, I like the sounds of this upgrade, as I was quite surprised to hear the lenses are only 1/8" thick. I suspect mine are original except over the nav table, which is either thinner or a softer material, as it flexes noticeably more, and there are slight bends in the frame. I don't have metal

Years ago I decided that I wanted to keep the original Beclawat portlight frames for the larger portlights on my C 30 rather than having custom long ones made. To me, their proportion looks just right on the boat. I didn’t like the 1/8” acrylic however - not very robust for that size of port. I

How about the 70s vintage aluminum framed portlights? I understand I will need new rubber inserts (Catalina direct has been suggested, but not sure if there is a source in Canada?), but is Dow 795 also suitable for the frame to deck seal? I'm thinking I will fill the void between the deck and

Tom, I'm in the midst of working thru this as well.  It looks like cast acryllic Plexi,  vhb tape, and Dow Corning 795 us the ticket. This is a pretty good you tube on it. https://youtu.be/tqa605uS3Os Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Thu, May 14, 2020 at 7:35 AM, TAGraphics via CnC-List
