{"product_id":"greenfield-products-dock-buddy-db4-rb-stretch-dock-line-4-foot-royal-blue","title":"Greenfield Products Dock Buddy DB4-RB Stretch Dock Line, 4 Foot, Royal Blue","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Greenfield Products Dock Buddy (DB4-RB) is a 4-foot stretch dock line designed to absorb the constant motion of a boat against the dock, reducing strain on cleats and hull fittings compared to a fixed, non-stretch line. One end hooks to the boat cleat and the other end hooks to the dock cleat; sliding the adjustment tubes up tight takes up slack and lets the line stretch and recover as the boat moves with wakes, wind, and tidal changes. This makes the Dock Buddy well suited as a companion to standard dock lines for boats kept at a slip or dock on a regular basis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Dock Buddy is constructed from a nylon and polyester blend for flexibility and abrasion resistance, with stainless steel hardware at the hook connections for corrosion resistance in a marine environment. It carries a 2000 pound load capacity and measures 48 inches long by 6.09 inches wide. This listing is for the Royal Blue color option.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Greenfield Products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e DB4-RB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dock Line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.09 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.55 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nylon, Polyester\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Royal Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFastener Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLoad Capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2000 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 788758000120\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Dock Buddy DB4-RB used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Greenfield Products Dock Buddy DB4-RB is a stretch dock line that hooks between a boat cleat and a dock cleat, absorbing the boat's movement so the line stretches and recovers instead of staying taut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is the DB4-RB Dock Buddy?\u003c\/strong\u003e This Dock Buddy measures 48 inches long by 6.09 inches wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the DB4-RB?\u003c\/strong\u003e The DB4-RB is the Royal Blue color option of the Greenfield Products Dock Buddy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the Dock Buddy made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made from a nylon and polyester blend, with stainless steel hardware at the hook ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much weight can the Dock Buddy hold?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Greenfield Products Dock Buddy DB4-RB has a load capacity of 2000 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do you install the Dock Buddy?\u003c\/strong\u003e Hook one end of the DB4-RB to the boat cleat and the other end to the dock cleat, then slide the adjustment tubes up tight to remove slack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the Dock Buddy differ from a regular dock line?\u003c\/strong\u003e Unlike a fixed dock line, the Dock Buddy stretches to absorb boat movement from wakes and wind, then recovers, which can reduce strain on cleats compared to a non-stretch line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included with the DB4-RB?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Dock Buddy DB4-RB ships as a single stretch dock line with hooks on both ends and built-in adjustment tubes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the DB4-RB weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Greenfield Products Dock Buddy DB4-RB weighs 0.55 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat type of connectors does the Dock Buddy use?\u003c\/strong\u003e The DB4-RB uses hook-style fasteners at each end for attaching to boat and dock cleats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Dock Buddy hardware rust resistant?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the hardware on the Greenfield Products Dock Buddy DB4-RB is stainless steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Dock Buddy come in other colors or sizes?\u003c\/strong\u003e The DB4-RB is the 4-foot Royal Blue version; Greenfield Products offers the Dock Buddy in other sizes and colors under different part numbers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Greenfield Products","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49031104626907,"sku":"G-P-DB4-RB","price":12.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/51OsdRqU4sL.jpg?v=1785208925","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/greenfield-products-dock-buddy-db4-rb-stretch-dock-line-4-foot-royal-blue","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
