Reinstalling a bow eye.

I have an Ericson 26 that I launch and retrieve from a trailer. One of the previous Owners removed the bow eye from the boat as they craned it in and out. I am looking for any information on a replacement eye/ eyebolt that I can use to retrieve the boat and stabalize the bow on the trailer. There is what appears to be the original hole in the bow, but I have no idea of the size or type of eye, or if it threads in or was secured by washers and nuts inside the bow.
Any information would be appreciated.

I used a 3/8" U bolt type on my E29 and mounted it in the bottom two bolt holes of the stem strap. If you have the original holes in the bow get a U bolt that matches that spread and use a backing plate inside the bow.
