Bow eye hook replacement

[Long Island Painter]

Need new bow eye hook for GW 1995 192 Tournament. Any idea where to purchase? parts number or specs? Broke but still on boat so can not measure bolts. thanks

What type of bow eye is it? Integrated with a bow cleat? One or two thru-bolts? If it's a stand a lone eye, you should be able to source that at pretty much any marine store as it will be a standard thing.

I believe it is a stand alone eye. As I recall there is a plate that mounts like a washer that allows the rode to be tied to it.

Has 2 thru bolts. Not integrated with bow cleat. Inside bolts pass thru a plate. After more research question would be how do you measure for a replacement? the inner measurement between 2 points on eye is ~1.5" and to middle ~ 2" . what is the point of measuring bolt distance? Eye is still bolted and broken on outside, hull appears solid would rather not start drilling holes and filling. thanks

I stand corrected after reading LIP, it is a U bolt arrangement straight thru the hull. My b.

Good. Easy peasy. It's a standard bow eye available all over. If you want to double check, though, just measure the C-C and OD of the "bolts". Or... just take it with you and walk into your local place - they'll likely have it in stock. It's not a "Grady" thing so go anywhere.

thank you for the assistance. just did some measurements and about to look online. Was hoping to order and have on hand when old was removed but may have to remove first. Good to know it is standard.
