Bow eye placement- glass hull cruiser.
Hi folks,
Been a while, I'm restoring my '74 Trojan Sea Raider 25'. www.picturetrail.com/sixbennetts http://thebayguide.com/rec.boats/donny_bennett.html I've come to the point where I have to install a bow eye. The boat fits the trailer perfectly now after a little bunk adjustment. The transom meets the end of the rear bunks perfectly. The front bunks support either side of the keel up from. At the front, the winch tower roller, (single), meets the point of the bow about a foot above the water line. The winch cable is under-wound on the spool, meaning it comes out underneath, and under the roller. In relation to where the roller contacts the bow point, where should I drill for the bow eye, and why? My common sense tells me it should be below so that as the rear of the boat lifts when launching, the eye won't get caught on the roller. If so, how far? Thanks folks! Donny |
