Replacing old portholes
-
We’ve been restoring a 90s-era motor yacht and noticed that some of the original portholes are cracked or corroded. I’d prefer to replace them entirely rather than trying to patch things up. Anyone know a good source for decent-quality replacements?

My cousin had the same issue on his older cruiser — those original portholes were cloudy and brittle. He ended up buying a new boat porthole https://yacht-supply24.com/catalog/exterior-deck-equipment/portholes-hatches/portholes/ from Yacht-Supply24. The replacements were solid, with tight seals and clear visibility, and installation was straightforward. He said the quality exceeded expectations and gave the whole cabin a cleaner look. Plus, no more leaks or drafty corners. It’s definitely worth replacing rather than repairing old ones.

Great suggestion — exactly the kind of upgrade I was looking for. Thanks for the help!
