- 34 LRC
Al... Wow! I don't think I've ever seen a 34 LRC with TWO ports in the cabin. Your's is a "galley up" model, correct?
Matt... I got them at Defender, $165 a piece, with all hardware for mounting and bug screens, part #900511. Because of the spigot depth, I stood them off from the fiberglass via fir strips, about 3/4". They measure 8 1/2" x 18 7/16", so they fit perfectly in width, just had to cut the bottom of the existing opening about an extra 2" or so, as the old ports are only about 6 1/2" tall. Since the fiberglass is so thin there, an electric jigsaw takes care of it in no time. The height of the new ports will be a challenge when I replace the ones in the fore cabin, at the cabin top tapers somewhat and there isn't as much room as there is for the ones more aft. They will still fit, but the bottom of the trim ring will be very close to the deck.
Cheers,
Bren
