If you are interested in bronze, check with Bob Eeg. He installed two bronze opening ports on each side of Seafrog. He can give you all the details on how to make the conversion. The bronze does take more TLC but they look pretty cool. The ones I have don't leak a drop. I'm very satisfied with them. I also have the screens for them that allows for a good breeze down below.

What company, in your opinion makes the "best" opening ports for a sailboat? By best, I mean the best performer, toughest, most user friendly, best options and longest lasting. Thanx for any opinions. sal M15 - "Justus" - 1986 - #361 M23 - #2 - being built _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats Remember, there is no privacy on the Internet!
