Does anyone know where I can purchase new portlights for my Ericson 30+?
New portlights for '85 30+

Which ports? Fixed or Opening?
Lewmar used to make some custom sizes of fixed ports for Ericson, IIRC. Might be hard to replace them nowadays.
Do a site search for ports; this question comes up regularly. I recall that some other owners have rebuilt their frames with new lenses.

Port Lights
I just received a set of Lewmar portlights that had the lens replaced by Select Plastics.
They did a very nice job at a fraction of the cost of new ones. They can be seen at the the web site: <cite>www.[B]selectplastics[/B].com</cite>

We replaced all of our non-opening "fixed" ports with new ones from Bomon in Quebec. They aren't cheap but they are custom made to fit the erratic openings hand-cut by the workers at Ericson.
If you need to address the opening ports and your frames are ok, you can order replacement lenses from Catalina Direct for around $30 each.
