Where would you find the trim rings? I have one that is all boogered up by PO trying to glue them. Pretty sure the clips are broken.You take the trim rings off on both sides and repaint them if need be. Hopefully, someone did not 5200 the the port lights in place. Assuming you can find replacement parts the lights go back in with 4200. Reinstall the trim rings.

Anthony, you need to join the Pre-Clintonites post. Let yourself be known to those of us with the old 80's SR's
What year and model boat do you have? You want to put this stuff in your signature so people will know.Check with Bomar if they are the manufacturer. I just ordered replacement screens from them for mine.

Anyone know who the manufacturer and model of these portlights were?
You would think so! Seems the whole parts catalogs were!This is classified double secret information that you don't get to know!!:smt101
I haven't called yet, there are some on EBAY listed as portholes. $35. Who would have known, I was looking under portlights:smt021I hope the number I gave works. They got me 7 with trim rings.

I wasn't replacing the whole light, just the trim ring, but now that I think about it, if I can find one, I might just replace the whole kit&kabootle!Hopefully you will get the trim rings too.
They are not very hard to replace. They will fall apart in your hands, so wear gloves. Once you get them out, clean the area up really good. Notice on the port light it has a "top" marked on it. Take some clear 100% silicon and put a generous amount around the window.
Note: if the screw holes are different make sure you put some goo in the old holes. Then "pre-drill" you new holes so you don't crack your gel-coat.
Place the window in the hole and screw down. Tighten the screw by hand and not with a power tool or you could crack you new, hard to get, window. Make sure you have silicon squirting out all around the window, inside and out. Let dry. Next day carefully remove the excess silicon and install the trim ring.
Here is the threat on my windows.
