They will call Boston whaler on Monday. I will post updated part numbers if I have any luck. Edited by Traceygsu on 02/12/12 - 3:08 PM

Member Personal Page Photo Albums Posts: 840 Comments: 9 Joined: 04/22/07	Here is the old one. Willl update with the new one once i receive. Duf http://s261.photobucket.com/albums/ii80/dufrus/?action=view&current=MVC-022F-3.jpg Just received my new bow eye. Is quite a bit longer, but form and fit is excellent with the exception being, its way longer then necessary, but i assume that is to utilize the same bow eye for different models, revenge, outrage etc. http://s261.photobucket.com/albums/ii80/dufrus/?action=view&current=MVC-024F-3.jpg Should have it installed tomorrow. What is the recommended sealent to use when installing it? Duf Edited by duf on 02/21/12 - 3:53 PM
