Q1: What is the difference between a bow eye and a stern eye?
A bow eye is mounted at the front of the boat for towing and winching, while a stern eye is installed at the rear for anchoring or securing.

Stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance, while chrome-plated eyes provide a polished look at a lower cost.
