I was looking at rest of the site, and was really impressed with the aft berth portholes and the ease of adding them on that other owners have done. Has anyone had any problems doing this? warranty or otherwise? It sounds great, and a really smart idea. That was one (about the only one)thing that I liked about the Hunter 26.

With Summer quickly approaching, I think this and a boat cover are going to be at the top of my "project" list.

Luis I had the dealer install mine. I used the Lewmar they have a low profile so they will not catch an ankle. In hindsight I would investigate longer portlights ( I used the 12" ) I think Lewmar makes a 14". The only problem we have had is they must be closed when underway because a foot could slip inside the open port.

Hi Luis
I used the Lewmar size '0' & not sure if I could have gone much larger. Here is a picture of the install.
