Airhead AHDL-4 Bungee Dock Line, 4 Feet, Stretches to 5 1/2 Feet
The Airhead AHDL-4 Bungee Dock Line is a 4 foot dock line built to absorb shock between a boat, cleats, docks, pylons, and other hardware during mooring. A bungee cord is hidden inside the rope itself, acting as a built-in snubber that stretches to 5 1/2 feet to cushion sudden movement instead of transmitting it straight to the boat's hardware. Two foam floats are positioned along the line to protect the hull from chafing as the boat shifts against the dock, helping the line last longer under regular use. A sliding adjustment at both ends lets you set the working length quickly, so docking and tying off takes less time and fewer adjustments. This dock line is recommended for docking boats and PWCs up to 3,500 pounds, and the line itself has a tensile strength of 2,150 pounds, giving it a wide margin of holding strength for everyday mooring loads. It comes in a multi-color black, blue, and red color scheme, making it easy to spot dockside. Whether used at a permanent slip, a seasonal dock, or for securing a PWC, the AHDL-4 offers a simple, durable way to reduce wear on both the boat and the dock hardware it is tied to.
