Ports

[jbent]

Does anyone have info on the manufacturer of ports used on Ericson 35's built in 1976. I am looking for a replacement for the "slider" in the head.

Please keep me informed

I've struggled with research myself to no avail. If you discover who supplied the ports please pass it on. I have replaced a few fixed with lexan and new gaskets from my window contractor as the ericson used unique sizes

Plan B, maybe...

FWIW, some owners have replaced those with new opening ports from Lewmar, et al.
They are a lot more water-tight when closed, too.

I ended up buying some ports from Beckson Marine. For the sailing I do they are fine and considerably less expensive than Lewmar. Certainly not in the same class, but acceptible for coastal crusing. I found nothing to be an exact match

I replaced the opening ports in my E-36 from Atkins and Hoyle in Canada. They had ports that were almost a perfect fit in the holes from the original equipment. http://www.atkinshoyle.com/

Taylor Made & Fuller (!)

Just today, while looking for another product, I found that Taylor Made has a line of opening ports.
In case this might be new news to anyone else looking for alternatives, here is their URL --

Choices, choices!
