How to change screens on a 2002 282 sailfish

[ntty1]

Can anybody tell me how to change the screens on my boat it’s a 2002 282 selfish and the screens are ripped and they look like there’s rubber around them I can’t figure out how to change them

Assuming you're talking about portlights?

A picture would help, but it sounds like your screens are glued to the inside of the frame and then the rubber seals are stuck (they come peel-n-stick) onto the screen. Meaning, the screen is sandwiched between the frame and the seals. If you want, you can get new seals that have a groove in them to accept a stand-alone, plastic-framed screen that pops in and out. This is assuming you have Bomar/Pompanette portlights.

I believe the older windows have an integrated screen as Dennis indicates and are not easy to remove/replace. I'm not sure of the manufacturer, maybe GW customer service can be of assistance? If you do find out, pls post as I'm sure many people would like to know.

OK thank you I’ll look at it more tomorrow I’ll take some pictures but yeah it does look like they’re glued in

I have the same boat, mine appear sandwiched in the frame as others have mentioned. Please do let us know what you find out, i always assumed if i had to deal with the screens I'd be doing the window removal/reseal job. The escape hatch is on my list for sometime this year.

Screens popped out from the inside on a piece of thin piece of plastic I took off the screen and re-glued new screen on thank you
