Re: Bow Eye Replacement
 

So boats i've just put a new nut on top of the old nut and run it down with the air impact and it will bust the old rusty one off and keep tighting it till the eye breaks off or just back the new nut off. Be careful if you run it down to break that the eye doesn't pull thru the hull and crack your glass. Hey Willy measure your eye and let me know the size you need. I'm not sure what all i have nor lengths. need to know the spread of it the diam. and the length of the threads.

or hey Willy you may be close to boatfix.com's hub in NJ.
