...cutting, my eyelid this weekend got loose.  I guess sometime during transport or docking it ran itself back into the front of my hull and created 2 bigger holes where it was bolted down. The holes Aren't big enough to make the lid useless I did tow it back from bug river but it is sitting in there loosely.

I figured I'd just take the lid off, stick some silicone in it and tighten the bolts. But my problem is now way no how can I crawl  underneath this hull. The bulkhead hole in the center is barely big enough to squeeze a life jacket in let alone a 6'1 200 lbs man.

Bulkhead is glassed in and pretty solid don't really wanna cut it out and reglass everything. At least not this close to the river season being over.

Can I just cut a bigger hole into the bulkhead for me to fit through and take care of my lid? Or should I just cut it and make a new bulkhead with a bigger hole in the center to fit a human being through?

Keep in mind fellas I have 0 fiberglass, wood experience which means either try and fail which we all have done the first time or take a saw to the bulkhead and make a bigger hole.

I know I know, pics say it all. Its too dark now so I'll take some hopefully tomorrow but at this point any suggestion is appreciated.

It sounds to me like he saying his boweye got loose and reamed  the holes larger than they should be.
If you have a kid teach them "righty-tighty, lefty-loosy" and send them up there. If you don't have kids, pay a neighbor kid.

I hope we are talking about a bow eye... And not an eyelid....

Help me out here... I need a visual, but maybe a few more words would bail me out LOL...

I'm thinking you need an ophthalmologist... LMAO

Backing plate on the inside and go up one size on eye. You could make a small custom plate for the outside if its damaged to.

Gonna need somebody with experience fellas. Someone that's willing to give me a hand with this one of these weekends...I'll do all the dirty work and supply the brew. Maybe even somebody that does this as a side job on the weekends and wants to do it for me without me bothering hehe.

How soon you looking to get it repaired ?

The latest around be next weekend. Going to big river for labor day. I need some things done on the float by then.

I'm out of town currently,  return next Friday. I'd be willing to take a look at it for you....
May need to bring boat to me....as my tools/shop aren't mobile friendly. I'm very near Knotts Berry farm.  Repair shouldn't take too long, but really need to see damage. Up to you...

At this point beggers can't be choosers lol. Any local shop I took it to it was a 2 week turn around time. I'll bring it to you. 9517196641

Alright fellas upon further inspection I'd say a skinny kid that gets the concept off righty tighty lefty loosey can fit through my bulk and under the bow...now who's got one of those sitting around and wants to make 10 bucks lol.

Stupid move...shouldn't have done that!

$10 bux?

That removes every kid I know....LOL

One sure would be useful right about now and I wouldn't have to pay him anything lol.

Stupid move...shouldn't have done that!

I usually rent Kyle out for $125/hour...2 hour minimum.  He can fit through tiny holes and knows how to hold a wrench.  All proceeds go to the college fund.

Option 2...craigslist add...midget/small person wanted. Can't post "small child wanted" that would be a bit creepy lol.

Stupid move...shouldn't have done that!

that wont work ...that will cost you $400 +...and you wont get the job you want
