Ports

[buddy]

I am going to have to replace ports on our 1983 383. West
carries the Beckson ports which seem to be direct replacements
based on the dimensions. Has anyone out there used them? With
what results? Thanks, Bob

I replaced my lights with some that I bought directly from Beckson. They were available in clear and tint. I got them about two years ago. West gave me their telephone number.

<div>Bob,I think the originals, at least on my 1984 384, are in fact Beckson 7x14's.John

I replaced all six Beckson ports on my 1983 M384. They were the same size as the old ones but I ordered the tinted ones, with the rain drain, 4 X 14". The only one that is different is the one in the Head which has an extended bezel, which Beckson will custom do for you. I ordered mine through West for about 80.00 each. The work is tedious only in that most of it is cleaning the old caulk off,and the outside bezels you can pattern from the old holes or fill the old ones and drill new ones. I took my time and am very happy with the results. Good Luck
