Hi all,
What's with the plastic 'housing' around the lifting eyes on the transom on my nautique? One is missing but i haven't seen a replacement on nautique parts or anything. Do they serve any purpose? If not I'm taking the other off as the eyes could be used to tie my boat doen to my trailer (uk trailer - not CC) and the housing is in the way. Cheers, Darren. |

They are to keep the exhaust fumes below the water. A safety feature, but many people have taken theirs off.

They are a safety feature. They keep exhaust/CO from coming up through the two holes in the platform that are there to access the lifting rings. I think they are available someplace.
Edit: found them |

Darren, look harder.  Transom Cup at White Lake Transom Cup at N3 These cups, combined with the seal on the transom and the solid (not slotted) platform make for a barrier to prevent C02 from entering the boat at low speeds. Some have done just as you suggest- remove the cups and expose the rear lift rings for trailer tie down points. |

Doh! And I though that I had looked at every part at white lake. How did I miss that! I guess the safety thing makes sense but at that price plus delivery I think I'll be having the other off. My crew can get used to CO2! Thanks all, Darren. |

Darren,
Just a quick offer for you: I take regular business trips to Ireland (Dublin, mostly). I'm not sure where you are in Ireland but if you ordered some small parts like these and had them shipped to my house I could put them in my luggage to take them to Ireland. Once there we could meet up (if you are near Dublin) or I could put it in the local post for a lot less cash than overseas shipping. I'll likely be back in Ireland again in either late February or mid-March, depending upon a few business decisions. Small parts only! I don't like to check luggage. :) Kevin |
