Bob  my bow eye is a standard u-shaped item (stainless steel)  about 5-6 inches long and is secured in the bow with two washers and nuts. these are covered with a wood trim. you will need a 9/16 deep wall socket wrench to remove the nuts. go back outside to the bow eye and use a 9/16 open end wrench to tighten the two nuts that are on the outside. the pressure from tightening those two nuts will force the eye out of the bow. If yours is o k it will come out in one piece. if it comes out in more than one piece , take the eye out and use a punch or maybe a bolt 4 to6 inches long to drive the pieces toward the stern to clear the holes so you can put a new eye back in after sealing the openings very thoroughly. depending on the kind of sealant you use, its about a 1/2 hour to 45 minute project.                                                       barney
