Airhead AHDL-5 Bungee Dock Line, 5 Foot Boat and PWC Mooring Line
The Airhead AHDL-5 Bungee Dock Line is a 5 foot shock-absorbing mooring line built to protect boats, cleats, docks, pylons, and other hardware from the jolts of wave action and wake. A bungee cord runs hidden inside the rope itself, acting as a built-in snubber that stretches and recoils instead of transmitting sudden loads to your boat's cleats or dock hardware. The line is rated with a tensile strength of 2,150 pounds and stretches to 5 1/2 feet under load, giving it enough give to absorb surges while still holding a boat or PWC securely in place.
Two foam floats are positioned along the line to protect the boat's hull and rub rail from chafing where the line makes contact, extending the working life of both the line and your boat's finish. A sliding adjustment at each end lets you set the working length quickly for efficient docking, so you are not re-tying knots every time you come in. This dock line is recommended for docking boats and PWCs up to 3,500 pounds, making it a practical choice for runabouts, pontoons, and personal watercraft at a home dock or marina slip. It comes in a multi-color black, blue, and red color scheme for easy visibility on the dock.
