Thank you guys for all of your responses so quickly, I took off the eye last night and inspected it as best I could and everything looked really good and solid. I will leave the eye off for a few days and reseal later in the week. The wood and stuff inside was not wet or soft so I will just reseal and keep and eye out for future problems. And again thank you Bass Cat for this board and all other anglers that are out there to lend a hand. This is my second cat and looking forward to many more. Andrew Howard
