Seeing the other thread reminded me of this one. I seem to have lost one of the latches on my port. I'm also looking to replace the seal which is leaking. Do any of you know where to find them both?





Thanks.

When I bought my C25, I don't recall a cockpit portlight being on the list of options. I suspect it was an aftermarket modification by the previous owner. You'll probably have to try to identify the manufacturer of the portlight to get parts.

I think it was a factory option in the 87+.

Not to hijack the thread, but I broke one of the thumbscrew nuts on the foreward hatch. Anybody got a spare, or is that CD part?

Jonathon,
As Dave noted, that is a Beckson portlight and they were standard on at least the '89 and newer C25's. Replacing the gasket is a straight-forward project albeit requiring a little patience. I suspected mine had leaked for some time so I also removed the portlight, sealed the space between the liner and the cockpit wall, and re-installed the portlight. Directions and parts listings for gasket and installation are available on the Beckson web site....I recommend using barrel nuts on the reinstallation. We leave our port open in all but severe weather and on only a very rare occasion have seen water (a couple of tablespoons full). The port also really helps with air exchange within the cabin. A great addition to the Catalina design.

Thanks guys!


I love this port. It provides lots of light in that area, and the kids like it too. It definately was a good upgrade. I just need to keep it from leaking with a new knob and seal.

Voyager,
have a look [url="http://www.mcmaster.com/#clamping-knobs/=6divy0"]here[/url] for the thumb screw. I think it is a 4 arm clamp knob?

NautiC25 you might find two here that match for your port as well.

I put the slide shade on mine and loved it. I also had the rain hood in the cockpit.
