I think I’ve decided to reinforce my bow Eye With a piece of quarter inch stainless plate and also the same with my bow cleat. I never plan on using the bow cleat for a lifting eye. Thank you for all your information. You’ve been very helpful
My old bracket is so rusted , it just crumbled when I removed it. I bought a piece of quarter inch by 2 inch stainless and I will re-fabricate like yours.
