Hello,

This is my first post so bare with me and pardon my ignorance. I have a local shop working on my boat. They have finally managed to finish the glass and body work to include painting the entire boat with AwlGrip.

The problem is they were a little over zealous with the repairs. In the process they managed to cover and fill the hole on the outside of the boat for the bow eye. I cannot find a picture of the front of the boat with the eye removed. I am assuming that there was a flat spot there with 2 small dimples on either side of the hole?

Right now it is shaped and painted. My plan right now is to drill from the inside straight out to have a referance to grind from.

If anyone has a picture of the bow eye removed (so I know how to shape and grind this area)????? I would really appreciate it.

Also any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. The paint on this thing is mind boggling beautiful, so I want to be sure not to screw it up.

Thanks,

AJ
