The winch u bolt on my 24 offshore is starting to come loose. Has anyone ever done this project? It is inaccessible and would require quite a bit of cutting that I don’t want to do. I can install a new one in an accessible location, seal up the old one good with epoxy, but it would be above the roller.

It's actually rather easy to access. I did it on my own Offshore.

You NEED to check the condition of the bracket that connects the bow eye to the lifting cleat on the deck. DO NOT wait to do this. Do this before you trailer again!

how did you access it on yours. Through the cabin I would have to do some serious cutting and there’s no locker access up top
