[QUOTE="Andy Taylor, post: 274738, member: 527"] I'll add replacing the strap to my list. I got the boat back today from the welding shop and they did a very nice job. They also made 2 longer brackets for me that the 2X4 screws onto. Now the 2X4 sits further rearward, giving me more clearance for my winch handle(No more hitting my knuckles). It also allowed me to lower my winch more. The cable is now about 1" above the bow eye. I forgot to ask them if the welded area will rust if I don't paint it? It's a silver color now. What is the ideal height placement of the 2X4 bow stop? On page 1, lckst's is just below the gunwale lip. Mine is a couple inches lower than his. Is that a problem? [/QUOTE]
