Need Suggestion on mounting front hook on Boat - Pic added!

I got a 1560 boat that the front tow hook has been pulled out and some sort of compound used to seal the area. There is only a right handle on the nose which makes towing and pulling the boat into place more work then it needs to be.

So, what would be the easiest way to fix this to make a center mount. I have pic of the front of the boat but not sure how to get it published as i don't have an upload site.

thanks!

Anyone?

Maybe an Eye bolt and a toggle bolt nut(Just the toggle Part).I think you should be able to get a big enough toggle. Good luck.

Have access to the inside? You really need to get inside, as the toggle bolts will work for awhile, but at the end of the day, the flat front of that boat is made of thin aluminum, and the toggle bolts will likely pull through. I would put a plate of thicker aluminum across the front, on the inside, then through bolt the new eye into this.

Screw eye and plate washers.

I agree.I thought you didn't have access to the inside. If you can get inside, an aluminum plate and washers is the way to go.

Thanks guys will try it out.

and put a nice metal plate back there along with the eyelet.

here is mine:



now i actually had to move mine after this pic as it needs to be vertical. but they are very strong, especially with a 1/4" thick aluminum plate back there
