Has anyone ever tried the Fuller Brush replacement portlights. Yes, Fuller Brush (fullerbrush.com). The size is 7x15 and the cost is $172.

Interesting.
Looks as if they are a close match to the 1986 and later head portlites. If you're contemplating using these you might first ask if they're made for slanted applications. You might also ask what minimum thickness cabin wall they're accomodate . . . the C25's is pretty thin.
Let us know how they workout!

I just replaced mine with bomar 2000 series extruded portlights model N2414. They are O.D. 7 1/16" x 16 7/8". I had to cut out about .25" on the fore and aft and they only have about .25" of overlap top and bottom (yipe!), but they seemed to be sealed rather well with copious amounts of 4200, a bead on the outside and injected into the inner voids. Not an ocean going vessel, so not to worried about them. Sure is nice to have that extra breeze! They are $111.29 ea. at Defender.com, but I found my from CargoLargo on ebay for $65 ea. new/backups/old stock. I'll have those pics up on my project page on my website after this weekend.
