[C320-list] Portlight lenses

[Brad Kuether]

Select Plastics is actually working my hatch now.  I have the "Ocean Series" 
in which the frame is one piece, welded.

When talking to the Lewmar folks they indicated that was NOT user 
servicable.

Mine started leaking, and since the kids and a $500 dollar inner spring 
matress sleep up there, I wanted that remediated.

Not sure if I was really getting water in through the seals or throught the 
hinge gasgets, but decided to get it taken care of either way.

$434.  Ouchy.

I contacted select plastics for replacement lenses and was told that the 
type I have must come from Lewmar. Mine are the "new standard" with  rounded 
ends. They have hinge and latch parts glued to them. Defender can order them 
for $95 each. Catalina Direct for $101. Has anyone done this or found a 
better way?

Thanks,
