I thought I posted this yesterday, apparently not. Does my winch and bow roller seem a bit high? Noticed it looking from far away. Thanks for your input.

Hard to tell but looks good to me.
Is the boat sitting completely on the bunks & the bow eye at the roller?? If that's the case then you should be good.

Thank you. Well my bow eye is up against my roller. Now I'm wondering if if should be lower like yours. So now the question is, where should the bow eye be positioned.
His isn't any lower the yours. Look at the cover and the bow eye, they are in the same spot pretty much

My bow eye sits right in the middle tucked up real close to the roller. Can't see it from the side

As long as the bow is tight to the roller and it doesn't bounce, you are ok

Thank you. It’s just the shape of the hull I guess.
