| Has anyone ever had to make an access hole in the front of this boat? The whole front of the boat is sealed up. |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | You can access it through the storage tube holes if it's a later model, or remove the front deck cap. |

You can access the bow eye bolts by removing the front deck cap. |

| If you don't have a cover yet, look into the covers while you are there. Great custom fit covers for the Tuffy line at a really decent price. |

| It sounds like Steve has you squared away, but just wanted to mention that "cutting an access hole" isn't as bad as what it sounds.
Cut a nice clean round hole, the size needed to fit a deck plate over it, and you're good to go. |
