Can anyone suggest where I might be able to gat a replacement bug screen for the aft head in my 1998 355 Motor Yacht?
Thanks

Welcome aboard.

If you contact Carver with your hull number, they will give you the supplier information and part number. It's doubtful they are an off the shelf stock item now but they might be able to fabricate them still. I got new screens for all my portholes though Bomar Pompanette even though they stopped manufacturing them decades ago. They were pricey for them to set up for just a few in product but totally worth it for me.

Do you have the long narrow windows or portholes?

Thanks for the info, I will follow it up. I have the long narrow kind

I'm sure one of the guys with the same model will chime in but have you looked to see if you can remove the sliding screen and replace the screen yourself or are you missing the screen's frame too? If the screen is held in place the same way as the screen in a patio door, you can buy everything you need at a hardware store.

Thanks for he suggestion. It's not a sliding screen. It's only about 18 inched long and 9 inches deep and it presses in from the outside, so it is visible. My goal is to match it with the other similar screens for aesthetic reasons, but I suspect I will end up making one, as you suggest.

Sounds like the same screens as my 97 405 have the long widows in the aft cabin and head not port holes. . Mine are mounted in a metal frame that's on the inside not outside. That frame will come out to the inside for replacement of the screen material are you missing the whole frame too?
