[SOLD] ABI SS Portlights

[N4RNV]

I have 4 ABI ports. Used Heavy Stainless Steel, in good usable shape. Bought them for my boat, but never installed. I cleaned one up, but the others will need a good cleaning. They will polish up and look nearly new. $200 FOB Pensacola, FL. PM if interested.

Indicating the dimensions might help prospective purchasers. They won’t last long at this price. Good luck.

Yes, please include the opening size and the spigot depth, that’s very important in fitting new portlights. Thank you, ~E

Opening size is 12 1/4" X 5 1/4" Spigot depth is 1 1/2" More info can be found on the ABI website as well as replacement parts and accessories.

While the portlights you have may be of high quality, I’m sad to report the company went out of business maybe a dozen years ago and thus parts and accessories may be hard to reliably come by.

Parts and accessories? I can't think of anything that you couldn't find locally such as glass at any glass shop. Knob with studs and gasket from McMaster-Carr.
BTW...I just bought them.

That’s a killer deal. I needed spigots of 1 3/4” so I let you grab them. 🤣

If they had been the 7x14’s I would have been interested myself.
I was just clarifying the theory that the website was still active…. It’s just a ghost; looks like you can order, but everything is “out of stock”.
Sounds like you’ve got it handled.
Congratulations, it looks like a good deal!

They must have had a huge rummage sale(or the bank did). I see lots of Ma&Pa marine businesses, from the east coast to the mid west and even here in Northern Ca., that have their items. I would wager they bought gear for .10 cents on the dollar. There is a place called Blue Pelican Marine Consignment in Alameda, Ca. that has shelves upon shelves of ABI gear. So I would imagine the Ma&Pa stores are the same. They certainly jacked up the portlight prices. The ABI ports were pretty well made for a Chinese product.

I have replaced ports on my last two boats with New Found Metal ports. ..both the stainless ones and the hybrid plastic "Matrix" models. Can't say I was impressed with either. I am a Toolmaker by trade, so I always look at quality of thread and efficiency of design. Their methodology of installing them is a little archaic.

These will make a nice addition to my Pearson 365 which has one opening port in the head. If I replace that one, I will use all 4.
