Hello, what's the general rule with lifting rings on older boats? My '82 BFN is unrestored and it shows, what should I look for to check integrity? Thank you

Stu,
Drill some small holes into the wood backing glassed in for the lifting ring mounting and look for any rot. Also, check for severely corroded metal components. |

The general rule is they will be fine- on an 82 unless the boat was super duper salty and abused I would be shocked to find the rings compromised… get under and take a look if you get a chance but you should be fine.

Mine looked like Duanes. The strap snapped right off when I tried to unscrew the ring. Florida boat, consider the source.
