Bronze Ports

Post by David Jacobs »

After almost 20 years the Bomar plastic ports on my boat are deteriorating. Does anyone know of a bronze (or stainless) replacement for these opening ports which measure 4X17 and 4X10?

Spartan Marine sells these, but none match your measurements.
Sizes listed in the catalog for opening port cut-out dimensions are
14 x 5 1/4, 11 3/4 x 5, and 17 3/4 x 5 7/8. Their blue-water super heavy duty ports measure 14 1/2 x 7 5/8, 9 7/8 x 6 1/4, and 8 3/8 x 5 3/8. They are available in plain or polished bronze. I am sure you could enlarge the hole slightly to fit. Their number is 1-800-3CLEATS

Try Newfound Metals. A friend with a CD28 replaced 8 plastic ports (6 small and 2 large) for about $1500.
