Re: Replacement portlight screens
I don't know about the F36 but the original portlights on the F33 were made by of all companies "FULLER BRUSH" They still have new replacement portlights, parts and screens but the screens are rediculously expensive. It is pretty easy to make new ones using the old as patterns and sandwiching brass or nylon screen between frames made of sheet palstic or fiberglass. I made up new ones for mine and they are as good as the originals and will do until I get around to replacing all the ports with nice stainless ones from New Found Metals.

Re: Replacement portlight screens
Thank you for getting back to me. The screens I have, always pop out on to the deck. they are held in with a very small screw and washer.
