Re: New egress port lights
Are they big enough? Or maybe I need to loose a few pounds !

Re: New egress port lights
I have two in mine as well. They are also great for letting lots of fresh air in.

Re: New egress port lights
Pascal, they are a lot bigger than they look in the picture. You can see the old small portlights to the right, that is the old center one. I thought you were doing the same thing. Plenty big enough to crawl through. Same hatches as used on the 80’s and 90’s cockpit motor yachts in the 65 to 80 foot range, they were mounted on the sides of the boats in the aft cabin. John

Re: New egress port lights
Outside shot of new portlights, had to cut down the flange that sticks out, used a saber saw with a metal blade then ground it down, sanded and painted. They actually look like the came from the factory. John

Re: New egress port lights
What brand were the new egress portlights please? Were they metal or plastic? I'd like to do the same for our very dark port side twin cabin.
A previous owner installed 4 large Bomar egress portlights in the master stateroom when the cockpit extension was added in about 1988.

Re: New egress port lights
I bought mine from Sam’s, they were made by Freeman in Oregon and are aluminum painted Hatteras white with 4 large dogs, beautifully made, same as they used on the larger motoryachts in the 80’s and 90’s. John
