: Hi George,
: Bend wire to shape by hand then make 90 degree bend on ends. Drill holes in
: boat and set wire into bed of thickened epoxy.

That's interesting - and I don't think I've ever seen/heard of that being done. So it's bedded in epoxy - under or outside of the fiberglass? How's it stand up? Ever had to replace it?
