Hi.
My SemiV bow is welded, not capped and riveted. I want to install a bow eye and have a 2 post already. I am concerned about drilling into the weld. Will/ can this cause a crack?

Thanks!

My boat has the bow eye welded on but I've seen them bolted also.

I don't see how it would crack it, them welds are pretty tough. You might need to use some kind of V- block on the inside.
