I have a bow lifting eye on my 96' 232 Gulfstream. When no lifting force is applied, the base of the eye is flush with the deck, but when lifted there is about 1/4 " of space under the base. I have tightened all of the nuts on the steel rod that attaches to the eye and the steel triangular plate is bolted solid to the hull. The only way I see that any movement could occur is that the steel plate is flexing upward when lifting force is applied. The welds on the plate seem to be solid, no cracks. Any ideas?
