Thank you for reading and hopefully responding to this post. I have a 1983 Outrage 20 foot and the bow eye area looks like it needs work as the area on both the exterior and interior have cracks. I want to life the boat by the eye and am nervous about causing more damage.
#1) Can somebody recommend a supplier where I can buy a new bow eye that also has a wide reinforcement plate on both the inside and outside of the hull?
#2) What type of materials (ie epoxy, fiberglass, etc) are the best to fix the cracks?
Check out the parts photos and the Articles section of a how to repair article.
The eye and plates are available. I would check your local chandlery or contact one of our favorite whaler parts dealers, sue Lodel at Twin Cities. Contact info under sponsors.
