Jim-Buoy 800-30 Heaving Line and Bracket, 30 Foot Yellow Polypropylene Throw Line with Anodized Aluminum Bracket
Jim-Buoy 800-30 Heaving Line and Bracket, 30 Foot Yellow Polypropylene Throw Line with Anodized Aluminum Bracket
The Jim-Buoy 800-30 Heaving Line and Bracket is a 30 foot yellow polypropylene throw line paired with an anodized aluminum mounting bracket, built to be grabbed and thrown in a hurry when someone goes overboard or needs help getting back to the dock. The bright yellow polypropylene line is easy to spot against water and deck surfaces, and it comes with a foot anchor at the throwing end so the line pays out cleanly and stays weighted in the thrower's hand. The anodized aluminum bracket mounts to a wall, piling, or bulkhead and holds the coiled line ready for immediate use, with a snap closure that lets you free the line quickly without fumbling with knots or ties. This heaving line is suited to boats, docks, and pools alike, anywhere a length of rescue line needs to be stored in plain sight and deployed fast. The polypropylene construction resists rot and holds up to repeated wetting and drying in a marine environment. At 30 feet, the 800-30 gives you enough reach to cover typical dock-to-water or boat-to-swimmer distances without the bulk of a longer coil.
