Greetings from Lake Champlain, Vermont

[Gregory Martin]

I'm new to this forum and have just purchased an 84' Sundowner 30. Looking for recommendations on the following;
* Where to find starboard circular 8" window
* Cutless bearing and housing (2" longer then standard shaft size)
* Swim Platform to fit transom
* 2 3/4 inch high older triangular port/starboard lights (or glass replacements) and
* suggestions on how to modify a transom canvas/canopy for shade?
Yes, tall order, but hoping to find some leads. Thank you all kindly.

Welcome aboard TF.
I'm not sure I can help with your questions but would suggest you add some photos of arts you are looking to replace or modify.

I have fobe some canvas work and may be able to at least offer some ideas if you can show me what you have now and can outline your objectives.

You are in a great cruising area. We have made the trip there twice and would live to return one of these days.

I dont understand what you are asking here?

If you google cutless bearing size cart you will find they come in many sizes

Looking for recommendations on how to procure a cutlass bearing for a 30’ sundowner trawler...among other items that need to be replaced. Thank you.

See if there is any makers name on the window.

Boat parts are not usually found by the name of the boat maker like you would for a car. Makers use parts from al over so you would search for cutless bearing makers then see if they make the size you need.

A good canvas shop can make suggestions on the stern canvas. Almost all canvas is custom.
