Dock Edge Premium Mooring Whips 2PC 8ft 2,500 LBS up to 18ft [3200-F]

Dock Edge's 2 - piece, 8 - foot Premium Mooring Whips are a great alternative to marine railways, davits, and lifts. Made of fiberglass, they're super strong, look great, and won't block your view of the water. Each whip comes with a tough cast - aluminum base that has a built - in cleat. These mooring whips act like a spring, keeping your boat at a safe distance from the dock to stop it from hitting the dock because of waves or wakes from other boats. They come with double - braided nylon whip lines, spring lines, and stainless - steel mounting hardware. Remember, some rough mooring areas might be too much for any tie - up system. When picking the right whip size, the boat's weight matters more than its length. These Premium Whips start with a solid fiberglass rod and are made in multiple stages with exclusive cross - wound fiberglass for extra stiffness. This multi - stage process gives them the strength and flexibility to hold the boat in place. They have 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, mount the whips to your dock using the included stainless - steel hardware and the cast - aluminum base with the built - in cleat. Attach the double - braided nylon whip lines and spring lines to your boat. The whips will act like springs to keep your boat at a safe distance from the dock. When choosing the right size of whip, pay more attention to your boat's weight than its length. Some mooring areas are too rough, so be careful and assess the conditions. To maintain your mooring whips, regularly check the mounting hardware for tightness and signs of rust. Clean the fiberglass rods with a mild soap and water. If you notice any damage to the whip lines or the fiberglass, replace them as soon as possible. And when you're not using the whips, you can easily separate them using the 'Plug & Socket' design for storage.
