Thank you gentleman, since i purchased the boat I have loaded it very carefully much as has been suggested here. The damage was done by the former owner. I like the idea of a large fender washer….that I should be able to find. Appreciate the suggestions.
You might even want to go to a welding and fabrication shop and get some stainless a bit thicker than a standard fender washer, say 3/16ths or so.
One thing I don't like about the bow eyes on the previous generations of Montauks and other models is that they were just too small. I've gotten new winch straps with hooks, that the hook wouldn't even fit in the bow eye.
