Re: how to fix this

If your talking about the bow ring, most of them are tightened down from inside of the hull. Hope you have access to it. Most boats would require a hull separation to fix it. Somebody else might have a simpler way to do it that im unaware of. A photo would help us tell you.

Tighten it with a wrench from the inside...... you might have to install a new support block or a piece of aluminum.

Open bow or closed bow boat?

Re: how to fix this

I had a similar probelm on my fiberglass boat. It was loose when I got it and I finally fixed it this fall.

I don't know how to link my "Bow hook repair" thread here but if you search for my name and Bow Hook repair topic in this forum, you'll see "my" repair.

Hope it helps some.
