Bow Eye Placement

I have a 1993 Catalina 28 and need to put a bow eye on the boat. On the bow there's about a 2 foot long flat edge. I would think that it would be easier to bolt it on that flat edge rather than the rounded edge farther down. Where's the best place to mount it? I was told that the winch on my trailer (which hasn't been mounted yet) should be 2 inces below the bow eye so the winch will be pulling down on the bow eye slightly . Is that correct? Thanks.

Wait till it is on the trailer

I don't know if your mount for the trailer winch is adjustable. But if you can get it on the trailer it should give you the best idea for placement.
