Bow eye repair
I have a 73 Starcraft fiberglass boat on which the bow eye was beginning to
pull through. Upon further inspection I found that the wood on the inside of the hull had disintegrated. I removed the fiberglass covering where the wood used to be and removed all the wood particles. There is no more wood in the area. I intended to repair it by making a new piece of wood approximately the same dimensions as the old one then fiberglassing over it before attaching the bow eye. Do I need to put fiberglass resin, epoxy or sealant between the new wood and the inside of the hull? Should I fiberglass over the new wood before bolting the eye on or after? Any other suggestions? Thanks Mike |
