Dock Edge Economy Mooring Whips 2PC 12ft 4000 LBS up to 23 ft [3120-F]

Mooring Whips are a practical alternative to marine railways, davits, and lifts. These fiberglass whips are incredibly strong and good - looking, and they won't block your view of the waterfront. Each whip comes with a durable cast - aluminum base that has a built - in cleat. They act like a spring, keeping your boat at a safe and convenient distance from the dock to stop impacts from waves or other boats' wakes. They come with double - braided nylon whip lines, spring lines, and stainless - steel mounting hardware. Note that some mooring areas might be too rough for any tie - up system. When choosing the right whip size, the boat's weight is more important than its length. These economical fiberglass whips are made of solid fiberglass rods. The durable cast - aluminum bases have a 3/8' thick mounting footprint and a molded - in cleat, ring, and thumb screw to hold the whip in place. They're not affected by UV rays and have a unique tip with a functional roller for easy access to your boat. They're built to strict standards and use high - quality materials. Available in 8' and 12' sizes for boats up to 23ft and 4000 lbs.

Using your Dock Edge Economy Mooring Whips is easy. First, mount the durable cast - aluminum base with the built - in cleat securely at the desired location on your dock. Make sure the base is firmly attached using the provided stainless - steel mounting hardware. Then, attach the whip to the base using the molded - in ring and thumb screw. Connect the double - braided nylon whip lines and spring lines to your boat. This setup will keep your boat at a safe distance from the dock, protecting it from wave impacts. When selecting the whip size, remember that the weight of your boat matters more than its length. Choose an 8' or 12' whip depending on your boat's weight (up to 4000 lbs) and length (up to 23 ft). Some mooring areas can be rough, so it's a good idea to check the conditions before using the whips. For maintenance, since the fiberglass whips are not affected by UV rays, you don't have to worry too much about sun damage. However, regularly inspect the bases, lines, and hardware for any signs of wear or damage. Replace any worn - out parts promptly to ensure the continued safety and functionality of your mooring whips.
