Port lights

[Bon vibrashon]

Need to buy new port lights for Morgan O.I 41 and like to order gray ports the same as i have now, but i see there are also angled spigot ports
Anyone experience with this item. I have now ports with straight spigot but see always standing water inside port.

I had same problem with the port lights installed in my boat(Islander 44) - they trapped rain. I purchased new ones from MMI in Costa Mesa, CA - from Taiwan, mfgr: Mainship as I recall. Angled so no water collects. Beautiful polished Stainless steel. Very reasonably priced and they look much better than the original plastic ones I had (made by PI-Hi or something like that) I got 8, two different sizes were available that matched what I needed, so they slipped right in. mmimarine.com You can specify cabin thickness - I recommend the widest flange available. Ask for Jim. Tell him Rob sent you. I can email you some pics if you want.

GREY Port Lights...????
Are they not supposed to be Red to Port.. Green to Stbd...

I don't know if Gray (Pompanette in FL) makes rain drain ports. Beckson does and they look almost identical. Good luck, good idea.

Check out New Found Metals. In my opinion they make the best port lights in the business and they are better priced as well. They have them in 316 cast stainless with tempered glass or bronze or they also have them in a polymer called Tri-Matrix. Below is their link.

New Found Metals, Inc.

I can change to anything but like the Gray ports for the price and will last for another 10 years what is long enough for me, but not sure if i need to change to angled spigot

Agree, New Found Metals have awesome ports.

Well... I think you answered your own question... water sitting in the portlights. Get angled ones or ones that drain.

I just ordered one Grey port with angled spigot to see if it works before ordering the other 15

Manship ports are very nicely made. They have a good selection of standard sizes or you can have them custom made to any size. I've ordered both standard and custom sizes from here:White Water Marine Hardware

If you care to check, Wolf's Marine in Benton Harbor, Mich has a lot of this sort of stuff and for low cost.
