That will be a beautiful boat when you are done. The bronze can’t be beat, a most traditional look. Are you doing this boat for a customer or do you own it now? Either way whoever ends up its captain will be a happy person.

This is Brian's boat, who was introduced at the beginning of the video. I'm just working on it for him.

question from a person with no experience with ships: The portlight is faced up and there's quite a large ledge above the glass. Isn't water going to stand in that ledge? So opening the portlight for fresh air after rainfall, is not possible without a cup of water pooring inside?
@atomvoyager3 жыл бұрын
Yes because of the angled shape of the coach roof the Triton forward portlights are famous for holding water. It's only a couple spoonfuls though. Owners are used to holding a rag or bowl under them when opening after rain or spray.

@@atomvoyager Opening the port to the outside with an inner metal bracket would be better. Would also look nicer. But you can't have it all sometimes... :-)

I have the same portlights but the wing nuts are stripped. Do you know where I can get new hardware like this for replacements? I enjoy your content.
@atomvoyager2 жыл бұрын
I don't know of any off the shelf replacement but for odds and ends like this I often check McMaster-Carr. The Triton facebook forum or other forum may have an idea for a source or someone with a spare portlight they aren't using may sell it.

I have an inner frame that has a broken and missing hinge section. Are just the inner frames available with glass if possible? The vessel is a Pearson 35 of 1969 vintage, hull 102.
@atomvoyager5 жыл бұрын
I doubt there are parts for or even a complete original portlight available new but you may find the same or similar ports for sale used on ebay or boat parts consignment shops or post a picture and ask on a forum like the Plastic Classic Forum. You might disassemble it and take the broken frame to a metal fab shop and have them repair with welding.

My NS ports were prepped to this something close+- to this level But shortly thereafter, the shine faded Any tips for topical products to maintain the luster?
@atomvoyager5 жыл бұрын
Yes they are going to tarnish. But I don't mind an even patina on the bronze. The interior bronze is easy to hand polish once or twice a year if you want but exterior parts would require it more often. There are clear lacquer finishes and others you can try but in the past I've found they don't hold up outside and when they start to fail they look much worse than the natural patina so I stopped using them. There may be other products out there now that work better but I don't have experience with them.

How did you get the screws out to remove them from the boat?
@atomvoyager2 жыл бұрын
If you are talking about the port lights, it's just the reverse of the assembly procedure shown here. Sometimes the heads of the little machine screws will strip or break off and then you have to drill them out and tap the threads.
