Internal plastic Lewmar portlight trims

[TonyP]

Has anyone recently found a source for these?
Ours have become brittle.
I am wondering if I could make something out of 18mm ply and spraying white.
Or even router some plastic board.
Any other thoughts.

Thanx in advance
Tony

Try catalina direct, I believe I have seen them there.

Thanx Cory

On their website they indicate no stock and not made any more.
I have sent an email earlier this week but no reply.
I have sent pics with measurements in a reply email to Lewmar.
I live in hope.

Tony : When I checked, Lewmar stated they no longer have them. 

I've seen some posts where owners have made their own out of teak/wood.

Thanx Ron

That is what I thought I may have to do

Try Defender in Connecticut (www.defender.com).

They have a lot of Lewmar parts and are very close to the Lewmar facilitiy.

Steve and Guys : That was in the old days.

Now most chandleries do NOT stock item not in their catalog (and some $$ items in their catalog).  They have the item that you purchased shipped direct from the manufacturer to you as a specially orderd item!!! 

This keeps down their inventory costs. I know this is true for hatches from Defender and Zantrex chargers/Balmar regulators from West Marine !!

If the trim isn't broken, spray with several light coats of plastic spray paint. I did mine (on my last Catalina 34) and they looked great and were no longer brittle. There is a beigh that just matched the interior. Try Home depot. aloha
