I have a 1979 Sunfish. I used stainless strap eye brackets on the front and rear part within my cockpit to tie my hiking strap on. However, the front strap eye bracket keeps coming out. I drill some new holes screw it in and a month later it comes out again. I would think the proper way would be to put a small block of wood behind the front part of the cockpit to bolt some screws in. That way as you hike out the strain is on the block of wood and not the thin wall of the front cockpit. However, I can't reach the back side of the front cockpit from the inspection port, it's too far. I can barely get around the daggerboard wall.
How does one properly secure the front stainless strap eye bracket onto the front of the cockpit?
