Bow Eye/UHMW Oarlock Sleeves

Hey, I'm getting near the end of my bottom replacement (one year, later) and I'm looking for a bow eye and the UHMW oar lock sleeves like Randy and Sanderson and Greg at Tatman Boats used to sell.  You can see their bow eye on the boat at the top of the page.

Anybody got a source for either of those?  Or a substitution?

And speaking of which, how do you guys attach your boat to the trailer winch while trailering it?  I had put a stainless eyebolt through my stem at winch height, but maybe that's not neccessary.  Maybe I can just rely on the straps to keep the boat on its trailer at speed.

As for the oarlock sleeves, I've seen the discussion threads on UHMW oar blocks and laminating cutting boards, and all, but I just need the sleeves to fit into my existing wooden blocks.

I left a message on the old Tatman number, but I'm not sure they're checking it.

Thanks for your help.

Jack

Jack, I just got a shipment of the white UHMW sleeves in. They will fit your existing blocks.  I also have the eyebolts.  We will not be doing anymore kits but will be doing a few things like these by mail. 

Contact me at 541-285-3676 and leave a message.  The best is to text that number.
