The bow eye has cracked [on a 1996 Boston Whaler DAUNTLESS 17], and I want to replace it.
Here are the dimensions of the old one:
1/2" rod
1-3/8" ID
6" or so shank (It's a loooong way through the hull into the anchor locker)
Can't find any with longer than 3 or 4" shanks.
Does anyone have any tips or suggestions where i might get one?
Thanks

MARINEPARTDEPOT.COM has a selection of stainless steel hardware for Boston Whaler (and other) boats including bow and lifting eyes. Not every configuration Boston Whaler ever employed, but most. The quality seems good and the prices are reasonable.

You may not be able to find a consumer-off-the-shelf replacement part for the Boston Whaler Bow Eye for a 1996 DAUNTLESS 17 boat that is sufficiently long. You may need to order this part as a replacement part from Boston Whaler.
What part of the bow eye has cracked? It must have been a very powerful impact to crack the steel bow eye and not crack the fiberglass and foam hull.
