Bow eye and bow/deck

[dginge]

Good morning. Any tips or tricks to replacing the bow eye? Cut loop on outside with grinder and knock it through? Also, from inside the anchor locker does that look like a new deck above Cabin or is that original potter built? Have a good day!

Any of you glass guys know? It doesn’t look wood cored. Looks like foam, at least around that hawser pipe.

With the way the nuts are rusted cutting it looks like the best choice is cutting from the outside as there’s not much room to work a side grinder unless you can go straight in and cut both sides of each nut but it’s hard to see with all the dust and the potential damage more than it’s worth.dont let the metal get to hot cutting it also be patient

Agree. Thanks

I probably would have taken my dremel with the small cutting wheel and cut the nuts loose.
