bobstay fitting for prod

Post by allanmcdougall »

I have fitted a prod with bobstay fitting to the towing eye, but this gives a poor angle of tension and has led to the dyneema rope breaking twice.
I guess I should put a new fitting down on the waterline at the bow but I am wary of making holes there! How have others done this?
