Getting hooked on a bow eye





This bow eye will fit into the hole in the background for purposes of more secure anchoring during bad weather or crowed anchorages and/or towing the boat if the need should ever arise.
















This is the nut that holds a four inch thick oak block and 1/2" stainless steel backing plate between it and the 3" thick hull for purposes of securing the eye bolt.  Note the base of the Sampson Post above.  The Sampson post has a steel plate made around the top of it to which the windless is mounted.
