Fitted tow ring to front of hull. Used 2mm SS flatbar for inside pull support with flat spacer/washer made form 5mm alloy flatbar. Made up large washer from 3mm alloy for outer ring in case of light impact from front it should lessen the chance of pushing the ring through the hull. Painted inner and outer washers and used nyloc SS nut to tighten ring and silicone to seal for water.
