T&T: Bow eye

    Last week I saw a trawler with an eye in the bow just above the waterline. A
    snubber was attached to it and was secured on the pulpit to be attached to
    the rode with a chain hook. I haven't seen this on many trawlers. It seems a
    good way to reduce the height of the rode attachment and lessen the length of
    rode needed out when anchoring.
    Is there some disadvantage I am not understanding and makes them uncommon
    (in my experience)?
    Thanks
