Replacement Screens for 260EC porthole windows

Has anyone ordered replacement screens for the eliptical porthole windows ?  My screen has separated from the frame/seal.

    Not yet, but I imagine you can get them through Bomar?

    Depending on the year, bomar didn't make all of the port lights. On my 2008, which was built in 2007, Bomar made the hatch but Jim Black made the port lights. If they are made by Jim Black, his signature logo should be on the window somewhere. It is etched into the glass. Great Lakes Skipper is a dealer for them.

    Thanks. I'll look the next time I'm at the boat.  For now,  I think some gorilla glue will hold it together.

    Isn't there a plastic bead that comes out so you can just put in new mosquito screening and fasten it with the beading? That's how my port light screen works. Not sure about the portals.

    MyDream, I just re-screened my port screens this year. I don't know if they are similar to mine. On mine, there is a rubber gasket once you open the window, and under the gasket is a plastic oval ring which the screen is glued to and is removable. I bought fiberglass screen from Home Depot, some spray adhesive and it became a DIY project that was very easy, and cheap to do. Hope this helps!
