I have a '85 18 Classic. Her bow eye is starting to pull out. My glass guy (a magician in his craft) said he would take care of it for me. He gave it a valliant effort, but could not reach the inside to loosen the nuts. It's a tight squeeze for sure. I'm thinking that if I removed the fuel fill hose, maybe I can get in there. Anyone run across this before? Scott says I need a skinnier glass guy...lol.....

Mine got loose due to the wooden backer block giving out, one nut would not come loose it ended up twisting off requiring a new eye. I replaced the backer with an aluminum block which I ground to fit and bedded in 5200.

Did you have to move your fuel fill line to get to the bow?
