Sea-Dog 3/8 in x 15 ft Twisted Nylon Dock Line | White
Sea-Dog 3/8 in x 15 ft Twisted Nylon Dock Line | White — Product description
A good dock line is one of those things you don't think about until you need it. This Sea-Dog 3/8 inch by 15 foot twisted nylon line gives you the stretch and abrasion resistance that keeps your boat sitting easy at the dock.
A good dock line is one of those things you don't think about until you need it, and then it's the only thing that matters. This Sea-Dog twisted nylon dock line runs 3/8 inch thick and 15 feet long, which is a solid all-around size for small to mid-size boats tying up at a slip or a piling.
It's a three-strand twist in premium nylon, and that's the point. Nylon stretches under load, so it soaks up the surge and shock when a wake rolls through or the wind pushes your boat against the dock. Three-strand twist also splices easily and takes abrasion well where the line rubs a cleat or a piling edge.
One end comes with a 12 inch hand-spliced eye finished with five tucks, so it drops right over a dock cleat or piling. Working load limit is 815 pounds, with a breaking strength of 3750 pounds. It's white, so it stays looking clean season after season.

Frequently asked questions
What size boat is this dock line good for?
The 3/8 inch by 15 foot size is a good all-around fit for small to mid-size boats tying up at a slip or piling. Heavier boats generally step up to a thicker line.
Why nylon instead of another material?
Nylon stretches under load, and that stretch is what absorbs the shock when wakes and wind push your boat against the dock. It's the standard for dock lines for that reason.
What's the spliced end for?
The 12 inch hand-spliced eye, finished with five tucks, drops right over a dock cleat or piling. You tie off the other end to your boat's cleat.
How strong is it?
Working load limit is 815 pounds and breaking strength is 3750 pounds.
