Baredon,

I had the same question after first acquiring my 190 Bay. My solution was to use the forward cleats and add two bow chocks fairly close to center (about 10" off center). While this doesn't get the bow exactly into the waves, it is quite close, works well, and is much easier to use than leading through the bow eye. The chocks are thru-bolted with fender washers accessed by removing the tilt/trim switch/trolling motor connection panel.
