Hi Ken,
It is not uncommon for the bow eye to be a bit loose. It is a fairly easy thing to correct, or just to leave. The fitting goes through solid material due to strength requirements, and is above the waterline. It is extremely unlikely that this would have led to water intrusion of any significance. I had a 1988 Montauk and loved it. They are great boats.
