Pre-Made Dock Lines

Nylon 3 Strand Pre-Made Dock Lines
Nylon Double Braid Pre-Made Dock Lines
Pre-Made Dock Lines
Defender dock lines can be ordered premade in a variety of colors and lengths. Double braided nylon mooring lines offer a higher tensile strength in lengths up to 50 feet with spliced eyes up to 18 inches. Twisted 3 strand nylon has a softer feel and lots of colors to match your boot stripe and fender covers.
What is the best dock line for my application?
The first thing to consider when choosing boat dock lines is the length. Is your boat moored on a ball or in a slip? Are the docks fixed or floating? Tensile strength and then feel should follow in your mooring line deliberations. Finally, don't forget to consider color in your choices; Defender Marine offers different styles of dock lines in several colors.
How long should my boat lines be?
When considering your choices in dock lines, length is perhaps the most important if not the most practical consideration. Special occasions such as unique moorings for storms should take a back seat to your boat's day-to-day docking functionality. How many lines will you need and then, on a slack tide what length plus some extra is your spring line? This is a good place to start on the required length of the bow and stern lines.
How many mooring lines does my boat need?
Some boaters might say there are never enough dock lines. There is some truth to that but also consider the practical issues - storage and weight - remember the more items you load on the boat the more load on the motors! If you have storage on land for extra lines by all means grab a few. Defender offers dock lines with 12-inch or 18-inch pre-spliced eyes, the option might come in handy when traveling. And always remember to have a few extra-long lines with high tensile strength for tying up during storms. Defender carries a full assortment of mooring lines up to 22,000 pounds of strength.
