I ordered new screens for our portlites.  I placed an order for PN LEW19898100 Size 1 screen 5x12 size portlite.

Because of backorders I received 2 shipments. Both shipments referenced the same P/N and the screens from each shipment are the correct size.  However, 2 different styles were sent.  The only difference I noticed in identifing  the screens is each one had a different
Issue #. The first shipment had the B4052 Issue B screens which fitted like a glove on our portlites. The B4052 Issue B has 10 tabs to securely fit in the portlites.

 The second shipment had one screen, B5961 Iss B screen. Although I haven't tried fitting this screen on the boat yet.  Just by comparing the B5961 Iss B screen with an old screen it appears to have the same ill fit issues as the old screen.  This design also only has 2 tabs.

I still need to contact Sailnet and resolve the difference in style between the 2 screens that carry the same P/N.  Just wanted to get this info out b-4 someone else runs across the same problem.

I've "attached" copies of the "Fitting Instructions" that came with the screens. The screens are nicely displayed so you can judge for yourself.
