While a hammer and nails may be helpful in securing the frame to the exterior and interior sides of the cabin, a through bolt is more secure over the long term. Be aware that you may need to paint the frame later on in order to match the color of the boat itself. If you do need to make your own frame, use plywood. The window itself should come with a frame or instructions on building a frame. Most portholes that are designed to open have latches on the outside portion of the boat, although you can reconfigure this if you'd like. The strongest portholes are framed on both the exterior and the interior. Step 3 - Set the Frame on the Outside and Inside If your cabin shell comes in multiple pieces, you may find it easier to partially dismantle that portion of the boat before setting the porthole frame. Following the manufacturer's instructions carefully, cut away the wood or plastic frame of the boat to leave room for the porthole itself.
