Hello All<br /> The front hook on my boat where I hook the winch on is coming loose, has anyone ever had this problem? My boat is a 28'Thompson I was wondering how to fix it? Thanks<br />chad

The bow hook on an old Thundercraft runabout came loose for me. I got a new one and bolted it in place, adding a reinforcing block mated to the inside of the hull.

Re: bow hook coming loose

when my boat is on the trailer i loosen the winch starp to relieve the stress on the bow eye. just don't forget to tighten it when u go to move the boat/trailer!
