The portlights were supplied by Timage in UK and are chrome plated brass. They do open but I seldom do as sealing them is a pain as the rubber seals are hard. They are screwed to the cabin sides from inside the boat and the outside rim is dressed with a screw - on chrome trim. They are shown on the Timage web site at http://timage.eu/marine/portholes-hatches/92-art8-round.html#/116-porthole-8c_chrome_12mm_spigot. But I am not sure if they still do them. They are also on Norfolk Marine's web site. I have two different diameters Timage ref 8B00C and 8C00C. I cannot access the boat to measure the dia at present - ask if you want me to and I will do it next month.
Hello, thanks for the excellent blog. Can I ask if you have any issues with the outboard fouling the rudder?
ReplyDeleteYes. I have a rope preventer five to the Samsung post and looped around the tiller to prevent the alloy prop machining lumps out of the rudder blade. Every now and again....I forget it. Shilling o5 had his motor in a box carved through after deck but it is in the water permanently which I didn't want. All design is a series of compromises and I've learned to live with this one.
DeleteDelete five insert fixed....
