1999 Martinque 3200 - Portlights

[Dwright529]

Does anyone know what the OEM portlights are for a 99 3200 Martinque? Need new lenses if possible or replacements.

Appreciate any help!

Look on the hinges and get a manufacturer name then go to there site. don't forget to measure them so you can look for the correct size

Thank you. They are Bomar/Pompanette Gray Series. However, when I called Bomar and they told me the exact match had been discontinued. I have not removed one yet...I’m a little nervous. However, I do need to know the cut out size and hull thickness. Has anyone else encountered this? I appreciate any advice!

[CptBill]

The cut out size is something you need to know also over all size, hull thickness is pretty standard as most portlights glue and clamp in place. I believe you can still get some replacement parts so check that first. All 4 of mine are leaking and Iwas just going to replace them all till I saw the price for the size I need so now I'm going to pull one out and see what it takes to repair it

Doing the same with mine as Capt. Bill. Boat is in the water for now and will do the job in about 2 weeks. I will let you know what I learn when done.

Yea I will, pulled mine last friday when the steady storms started rolling. I always do my fluid changes this time of year, I do some contract work for FEMA and you never know when or for how long it will last

Appreciate it guys. I broke down and ordered 4 SS Flagship Series portlights by Bomar from Defender Marine (great service by the way)...and yes, not thrilled about the price $350 each...ouch. Plus they take 6-8 weeks to get! I’ll keep you posted.

Do you think the hull thickness is greater than 7/8”? I hope not since that is the maximum.

[CptBill]

The price of those is ridicules' can't believe I can buy hurricane rated windows for my house and have them installed at about 200 $s each and those portlights are mostly plastic with one piece of glass

[Dwright529]

Agreed! Plans changed...the cutout for the Bomar SS was 1” larger than what I have. So I found Jim Black glass windows that will fit the 16 x 6” cutout! $180 each. More good news...if anyone needs parts for the original Bomar Gray series I have one complete window in decent shape and 3 others available for parts of anyone can use them. I’ll let you know how they turn out.

[CptBill]

good to know, thank. Jim Black glass windows, think I'll check that out
