bow eye

The bow eye on my e-25 was snaped off before I bought the boat. It appears to have had only one bolt. I think I will replace it with a 'U' shaped bow eye. Can anyone offer any advice or special instructions.

Arrr! "An eye for an Eye!"

I would remove the remains of the old bolt and then epoxy in the hole, adding some layers of cloth on the inside. Not an easy part of any boat to work in; perhaps a helper could hand you stuff once you get an arm or two and a light wedged up there to do the work. Not very technical work, just annoying and a bit tedious.

Best,

Loren

ps: pick up a copy of the West System epoxy manual -- thin booklet but packed with information.
