10 meter port lights?

bigrgh · Post by **bigrgh** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 9:08 pm

I have asked this question a while back but other things came up so i could not follow through on the responses so im gonna try again. can i get replacement parts for my portlights? this subject has come up many times and all of those posts seem to deal with a different type of portlight than i have. one of my outer trim rings is broken, can i get parts? my portlights are not metal of any kind. they do not seem to screw/ bolt together from the inside or the outside. the hinged lexan has four quarter turn zues type fasteners and the screen is removable by prying the inner trim/ screen out from the seal. it appears that the lights consist of an outer composite trim ring, an inner composite trim ring which has a groove for the gasket and an inner grove that the screen ring fits into and four pockets that the zues fasteners fit into for holding the lexan closed. i need to replace the outside composite ring, can this be done? any help would be hugely appreciated. sorry no photos, cant figure out how (electronics illiterate)

sounds like mine

got new seals from John Leed at Marine TEch

Had a damaged outer trim ring but was unable to locate a replacement so hd to repair the existing one are paint it instead.

Anl info you find would be appreciated

I am aware that these lites were referred to "footballs" as thier size was unique.

rws mine are the same as yours, how would i go about fixing the outer ring? over half of it is missing. can i remove the remaining peices without breaking it more and have a body man/ fiberglass man mold a new one ?

i repaired my broken one out of a blend of epoxy and tiger hair (as I recall) or some other combination of materials.

built it up and worked it down with a DA sander, then painted it.

Unless you know about it and inspect it right up close it's impossible to tell .

I'd really like to replace the white dcck hatches, but that is another topic
