AHOY, yesterday in high-seas the port-side-aft portal was deep-sixed when a cabin denizen head-planted it. Is one available or do I need all four?
Cheers,

It is really easy to make your own if you have a router and a pattern following bit. Use one of old port lights as the pattern. Then make sure to use a small round over bit to take the 90° off the side that gets mated to the hull.

Just looked at the new material I have used to make the port lights and it is just under 1/4" with the protective paper still on and it matches what I removed (with the exception that you can see through the new stuff). The polycarbonate I used was easy to cut initially on the tablesaw and then finish with the pattern following router bit. The plastics place I bought the material from says they use routers almost exclusively to cut these materials, which kind of surprised me. I would have thought the router bits would tend to burn or melt the plastic.
