Evening All,
Can anyone tell me what the part number is for the Beckson Ports on the 28TE is? I'm nowhere near the boat at the moment and need to order two new lenses for Fisher Price as two are leaking where they have cracks in them. I'm assuming its either a 410 or a 414?
Also, when the boat was shipped over, there were some flyscreens fitted on the outside that had rotted through. I removed the screens and gaskets (basically to clean up the gaskets) but never fitted the screens back, or rather the plastic rim. Out of all of the ports, I have three that have minor leaks which is more annoying than problematic. Should I replace the plastic trim behind the gasket to give it a bit more support or will the gaskets need replacing, bear in mind two with leaks are the ones with cracked lenses?
As there don't appear to be any dealers of Beckson ports over here, I will need to import them so I'll need to put a shopping list together then I will have everything here that I need.
Oh almost forgot, they are the plastic ports not the stainless steel ones.
TIA
Lee
*EDIT* Note to self for next time - change search terminology to American! It would appear that they are a 512 (I'll still need advice on the plastic screen though

Re: Beckson Ports
P/N LNC512 purchased from Beckson (http://www.beckson.com, tel: 203.333.1412) at $33.50 ea. Also purchased two gasket kits as spares @ $6.25 ea. Shipping to FL was $7.
The screens are p/n SCR-512.
Just checked the Beckson site... they get $18.35 per screen now.

many thanks for the info on that - due to territory trade restrictions it can be difficult getting parts shipped to the UK unless I go through a Drop Box type service
For the time being, I have swapped the two over from the berth under the deck and fitted them where the ones have cracks in for the time being - so far so good!

Re: Beckson Ports
Cool, like having two spare tires in the trunk. I had done the same with the screens until I got around to replacing them all.Tree wrote:

Re: Beckson Ports
I replaced the screens myself this winter. Really easy job, take out the plastic frames and the old screen. I bought a roll of screen material from Home Depot and "sealed" them in with a flat tip solder iron. Total cost was about $10 which is less than the cost of one replacement screen.

Re: Beckson Ports
I replaced a screen this evening using the flat tip soldering iron technique. It was easy, and it turned out perfectly. Beckson had told me that I could lift just a few inches of the gasket to remove the screen, and that was true, but I ended up removing the whole thing anyway to clean it. It was pretty scummy in there.
