Does anyone know how to tighten the front bow eye that attaches to the winch? My bow eye has separated approximately 1/8".

Thanks for your support;

Key-z,

You don't mention what year Outrage 18.
There is a photo of the newer style eye on the left sidebar.
With the older style, you need to have an assistant hold the outside piece so it doesn't turn while you turn the inside Nut which is where you tie the anchor line to.

Here is a photo of the older style that is located on this site.

your advice is going to help me fix the trailer for my katama I just purchase, thanks.

Currently it only has a front keel roller and only soft material on the back frame with nothing in the middle crossover. I put a nasty scratch in it today. I swear the guy I bought it from had the baot lowered onto this trailer and never used it.
