However, with the boom height in the recreational position, it hardly seems necessary to have a window. :)

Thanks Fred The large washers looked like they'd be enough but I just wasn't sure. Wiill

I just installed a Harken 009 ratchet block on the deck lip over the cockpit. When I purchased the block the salesperson looked at the eyestrap of a brand new Sunfish and noticed it did not have any backing plate or block. So he said I probably wouldn't need one unless I planned to do some...

Hi Terry Does it matter whether they are panhead or roundhead? Does one fit the ports better than the other? Thankyou Will

Thankyou Sailor: So on those self tapping screws, do you drill holes through the hull just a little smaller than the screw diameter? Will

Hi Tim Thanks for your reply. Your method sounds tempting. However, there could be an occasion where the ports may have to be replaced. I am not sure what occasion but the 5200 would definitely make for a permanent installation. Will

Thankyou Mike The Nylon nut/bolt combination sounds like a good idea. My ports did not come with any. Will

Thankyou Wavedancer I have emailed Daniel at Windline to ask him the question about the type of screws, rivets, or bolts.

I want to install inpection ports on my two sunfish. I have seen the instructions at Windline and some other sites. However, no one states exactly what kind of fasteners are best to attach the ports. Should I use bolts or screws? And if so what size and type? Any help would be much...

Hi Supercub Thankyou for your reply. Are the rivets just regular hardware store rivets or is there a such thing as Marine rivets? Will

Hi Brad Thankyou, that diagram shows it perfectly. I think I just need to see if the seal is in fact, in my unit. I don't remember seeing it when I installed the bailer. Again, thankyou for your help Will

Thanks Bryant I didn't notice the soft foam seal. Is that built into the throat of the bailer or do you have to put it in? Will

Hi Bbryant So, does just one O ring come with the bailer assembly, or two?

I recently installed a new plastic bailer after removing the old frozen metal one. When my wife and I (two adults in a sunfish) took the boat out on the water, I noticed that even with the cap on, some water was leaking in. This bailer came with one rubber gasket that I put over the threaded...

I have a section in the transom where the rivet has broken and the aluminum rub rail has come loose. Does anyone know if there is a special kind and size of rivet to re-attach the rub rail with? I have looked at the usual repair sites and they don't mention the type of rivet. The hull seam...
