Getting my yoke completed for the Swift. The inset in the gunnel is not flush with the top of the gunnel. I put a threaded inset in the yoke to retain the eyebolt. It is epoxied in place. I have some better eyebolts with shoulders ordered, and my original idea was to put the yoke inset on the gunnel, which would put the insets in contact (metal to metal). I could, however, flip the pads to the opposite side so the wood sits on the gunnel inset and the yoke inset contacts the head of the eyebolt (washer between). I could recess the wood where the the gunnel inset contacts, so the entire yoke contacts the carbon fiber. But maybe there’s a reason Swift protrudes the inset. Whattaya think? Allow metal to metal or flip the yoke and let wood contact the carbon fiber?![IMG_2167.jpeg IMG_2167.jpeg](https://www.canoetripping.net/data/attachments/31/31506-30fed4cd60f1e5c7d7c2f0ad3d84d5b9.jpg?hash=MP7UzWDx5c)
