Personally I find these by far the best
plastic ports out there. Never had a leak, spare parts available, and the
lenses are a full 5/8” (or maybe it’s a ½”) thick not just
thin plastic.
I met one of the heirs in the southern Bahamas years
ago that told me the story of his father being fed up with bad ports and having
these designed and made for his boat (the two specific sizes they offer were
because he had those size needs on his boat). I posted the full story a couple
of times if you search this or the old board.

F32 Ports
Dunno about the 32, but that particular port on my
Freedom 40 aft
cockpit cat ketch was made by (of all people)…
The Fuller Brush Company
Before you laugh, it’s really pretty good quality (I re-glued the
screen on mine, but have had ZERO trouble with it…in the 27 years
since the boat’s been built…and there’s some story somewhere out
there about one of the heirs who was ticked off over the
unavailabilty of what he needed, so they tooled up and built
them…and kept on building them
They manufacture a 5 x 12 and a 7 x 12
Website is www.fuller.com … look under marine products
The sell parts as well as the entire unit

get a screen for the one that opens into the cockpit from the aft
stateroom.

Can anyone comment on this chartplotter? If functions as a street

marine navaigator. Price seems nice, around $350.
