New Bomon fixed port are in

It was actually relatively painless. Now I just hope the soft aluminum is rigid enough to not lead to any leaks at the rubber gaskets ... the cabin sides are not completely flat and some flex should actually help the ports conform to the curvature so it's probably a non-issue.

The ports are really nice both inside and out. The medium tint is just about perfect.

The first picture below shows the crude (but perfectly adequate) routing templates in place during the aligning process. Once they were aligned we "walked" 5-6 clamps around the hole as we routed.

We taped plastic bags inside the ports and Nancy had the vacuum going while I routed to try to minimize the mess. When we did the starboard side we remembered to put on our dust masks, forgot when we did the port side and that wasn't as much fun :rolleyes:

Now all hatches and ports have been replaced ! That's 3 brand new hatches, 8 new opening ports, and the 4 new fixed ports.
