Bow Safety Chain?
Have a 32 Fountain on a painted trailer.
Looking for a safety chain from the trailer to the bow eye. What are my options that are rubber coated to protect my trailer paint? Didn’t have much luck with a google search. Thanks.

Get a solid piece of chain that will hold the boat. If it does not the damage to the boat bottom will far exceed the paint chip on the trailer. I have seen a 33 Donzi take a powder, owners comment was what would you need that for?
Dip like said, or just get a bungie and secure it so it can not flop around. I run two on mine, one to control forward, one the opposite . Chain is cheap, boat bottoms not so much.

they make sleeve protectors for chains. Multiple different ID's available. I have seen them but never used them so, so I have no real life input. Just throwing it out there. 
Edit in: using Chain Safety Sleeve for a search term seems to work well also,
