Bow eye replacement

[tartuffe]

I took a piece of 3/4" birch and shaped it to fit snug to the inside of the hull to help distribute the weight over a larger area and then put a piece of aluminum plate over that with holes drilled in it. Ran the U-bolt through all of it. 4200 to prevent moisture from getting to the block of wood.

Thanks for the input guys. I am going to try and tackle the job before the weekend so I can get out and do some fishing!
