Looking for Seacocks,Thru-Hulls,Bronze or Plastic Portlights

Post by noladory »

Hi All,
I recently bought a 1975 CD 28' and am doing a refit. I'm fortunate that the boat is in pretty good shape for its age so after a little fiberglass work and some varnishing I hope to have her back in the water. The most pressing concerns are a few aftermarket seacock installations which had corroded to the point of shearing off. I've also got a broken portlight and unfortunately got the plastic portlights rather than the Spartan bronze.

Which leads me to the want ad. I'm looking for:
-3/4" and 1.5" though-hulls or seacocks. I could also use 1" if you have both thru-hull and seacock. My preference is for old tapered plug ones (don't have to be Spartan) but I could also use quality bronze fittings of any type. Not too concerned about keeping things period correct or anything, just trying to save on the prices of buying new!

-Bronze portlights of the standard Cape Dory size (I know, it's a long shot!), or a single plastic portlight to replace the one which is actually broken. It's the larger two sizes on my boat but seems original so should be a stock size. The pane is 18" across and the frame about 20 5/16.

I'm sure I'll find more things I need as the refit progresses, and I'll probably have questions for you folks in other parts of the forum. For now, thanks for your help! Great site you've got here.

Good luck finding your parts. I wasn't aware the 28 came with anything but bronze ports, can you post some pics of your refit?

Have you looked at the New Found Metal replacements. They have Bronze, Stainless and Plastic replacements that fit the pre '76 CD28 ports:
