Bow Eye Stainless Plate

Post by Acnull »

I have a 232 and trailer all the time and I don’t have the extended version. I’ve found other Cobalts have an extended bow eye plate shown in the photos. Where do you get one of these?

Lol.Sorry I didn't see this was you Acnull.
I texted you the link on ebay for what I saw. Not exact to the picture you posted, but similar.

I could be wrong I think that one on ebay was off a 250. It's been on the awhile. Or make him a offer?

I found one for an A25, new pic below. I know the 232/242 hull is pretty close to the A25, you think that would bolt up to my 232?

I would not mess with it. Doesn’t the current bow plate offer enough protection?

The picture above is not his current bow plate. His current plate (as is mine) is just large enough for the bow roller to set there. Once the boat moves on/off the trailer, if you're loading bow heavy, the roller will touch the fiberglass between the eye and the trim panel. My boat does, and it is very similar to the OP's boat. I can see the need/want for more protection.
