Chafe after chocks

Snubber line at bow has been wearing into the fiberglass edge after the chock
Set a 2nd anchor last week and it's doing same to the other side.
Nothing new..has been going on for years.
Now I'd like to protect the edge in some way
Thinking alum or some thin stainless...applied in some way
What experiences do others have with this prob

Maybe Mike
Initial thoughts were some type of plate material
Maybe I use a hammer to form it but just for the edges
I'm sure others have dealt with this type of thing before
Maybe some sort of metal tape?

Nautos anti-chafe tape. Get the thicker grade.

The stuff is a amazing, practically up there is with metal, but it's HDPE tape.

You can also get SS anti-chafe tape. But it does not tolerate any compound curves. SS anti-chafe tape
