If you don't have an access hatch you might have to make one.

its called a bow eye. the factory only had some pine wood and tiny washers backing it up.
yes you'll need to cut the inner liner to access it, then remove it, add new epoxy of some kind of support so it doesn't pull out, and redrill and install.
I got the 6" bow eye from WM rather than use the stock one. some install 2 eyes while they are in there.
+ check the width, there are different sizes. if you replace it.

On my V22, there is no "cover" over the area, and only a very soggy piece of pulpy wood remained. I dug it all out, then filled it with Durakote... then drilled the holes for the bow eye and resecured. The fiberglass of the hull will give way before that block of putty does.
