Yeah I don't know how I'd do that. Maybe Jake got a good luck at the backside of my tang when he rebuilt my bow and could give you a few tips.
That not withstanding - call Jack up. He should be able to help.
Nope - there's a bulkhead 18" back from the bow - you can't see the tang from the repair I did on yours.
I don't know what that tang looks like either but if it's anything like the shroud tang (which is likely), it's probably a flate plate of stainless steel shaped like an upside down "T" with a bend where the tang exits the hull. It probably has holes in the ends to the T where thick fiberglass roving is run through and laminated to the inside of the hull...and then the whole thing is glassed over with some heavy duty woven glass (knytex) that is 'supposed' to act as the waterproof barrier.
Regardless, the answer here is to call Nacra and get their input...but you'll probably be popping the decks off, grinding out the existing tang and glassing a new one in. It should be a pretty straight forward repair that won't need any cosmetic work (unless something goes awry popping off the deck).
