Product Detail
Dock Edge presents these top - notch Premium Mooring Whips. They are a great alternative to marine railways, davits, and lifts. Made of fiberglass, they are incredibly strong and good - looking, and won't block your waterfront view. Each whip comes with a durable cast aluminum base that has a built - in cleat. These high - quality mooring whips act like a spring, keeping your boat at a safe and convenient distance from the dock. This helps prevent damage from waves or the wakes of passing watercraft. The set includes double - braided nylon whip lines, spring lines, and stainless - steel mounting hardware. Remember, some mooring areas might be too rough for any tie - up system. When choosing the right whip size, the boat's weight matters more than its length. These Premium Whips start with a solid fiberglass rod. They're made in multiple stages using an exclusive cross - wound fiberglass, which gives them extra rigidity. This multi - stage manufacturing gives the whips the strength and flexibility to hold the boat in place. They feature an exclusive 'Plug & Socket' design for easy separation and a cast aluminum base with a built - in cleat, ring, and thumb screw. Each whip has a unique functional roller tip and a tie - off cleat for easy access to your boat. Stainless - steel mounting hardware is included.

Using these mooring whips is easy. First, install the whips using the included stainless - steel mounting hardware and the cast aluminum base with the built - in cleat. Make sure the base is firmly attached to your dock. Then, attach the double - braided nylon whip lines and spring lines to your boat. This will keep your boat at a safe distance from the dock. When choosing the right whip, pay more attention to your boat's weight than its length. Some mooring areas can be rough, so if you notice the water is too choppy, it might not be suitable for any tie - up system. For maintenance, regularly check the mounting hardware for any signs of rust or looseness. Tighten the thumb screw on the base if needed. The fiberglass whips are durable, but avoid hitting them against hard objects. If the whip lines get dirty, you can wash them with mild soap and water. Keep the owner's manual handy for more detailed information.
