[Public-List] Opening ports

[Neil Murdock]

Thanks all for the feedback. It appears that the inner flange and the body of the port are one piece, with the outer flange being just a flat oval. Of course, the more complicated piece with the inner turning flange, port hinges, etc. is wats failing..

Would love to find the salvage A30 if you ever locate it.

Neil

A30 359

I do not want to spend $500 plus each from Newfound Metals or the other manufacturers on new brass portholes if I can avoid it. Would rather find used ones if I can. Does anyone know of any used portholes for sale? Have been combing marine consignment shops to no avail yet.
