Albin 32 CB 1996 Portholes

[Eastwind]

We have an Albin 32 Command Bridge 1996. The portholes are plastic and we have to replace one of them. Some detective work would suggest that the portholes are 14 1/2" x 7 1/2" Beckson Newport in white and self draining.
They are apparently available from the likes of Defender Marine.
Has any on here had an issue with the portholes and experience replacing one.
Thanks....

There's a fair amount of experience on this forum with Beckson ports. Why do you have to replace a port?

The Beckson web site has lots of information on replacing ports and components, and their tech support is excellent. We removed and re-bedded one port last summer. Here's the thread with links to other pertinent threads:

Thanks Nancy that answered a few questions for me. Followed the links. Most informative especially regarding the sealant application.
The port is damaged missing one of the closures or I would have tried fixing it.
Have an annoying leak in the sliding side windows on one side (galley port side) other never leaks.
Any comment on that most appreciated.

Sorry, Eastwind - I don't have any insight on the sliding windows. Try starting a new thread.
