Sea-Dog Twisted Nylon Dock Line 3/8 in x 10 ft
Sea-Dog Twisted Nylon Dock Line 3/8 in x 10 ft — Product description
This Sea-Dog dock line is a 3/8 inch, 10 foot twisted three-strand nylon line in black, built to shrug off dock rash and hold your boat steady. Nylon's natural stretch soaks up the shock of wakes and wind gusts, so your cleats and hull take less abuse. One end has a 12 inch hand-spliced eye ready to drop over a piling.
Every boat needs a few good dock lines, and this Sea-Dog is a solid everyday choice for slips, pilings, and cleats. It's a 3/8 inch twisted three-strand nylon line, 10 feet long, in black. The twisted construction is easy on your hands and easy to splice, and the premium nylon gives you the stretch that matters most at the dock.
That stretch is the whole point. When a wake rolls through or the wind pipes up, nylon absorbs the shock instead of yanking hard on your cleats and hull. Rated at an 815 pound working load with a 3750 pound breaking strength, this line handles small to mid-size boats with room to spare. It's also abrasion resistant, so rubbing against a rough piling or a chock edge won't chew it up as fast.
One end comes with a 12 inch hand-spliced eye finished with five tucks, so you can drop it over a piling or cleat in a second. Keep a couple aboard as spares, or rig a full set for your slip. It ships in a clamshell package.

Frequently asked questions
What size boat is this dock line good for?
With a 3/8 inch diameter, an 815 pound working load limit, and a 3750 pound breaking strength, it's a good match for small to mid-size boats. Boaters with heavier hulls often step up to a larger diameter.
How long is this dock line?
It's 10 feet long. That's a common length for bow and stern lines on smaller boats, or a spring line at the slip.
What is the spliced eye for?
One end has a 12 inch hand-spliced eye finished with five tucks. You drop the loop over a piling or a cleat horn, which makes tying up and casting off quick.
Why nylon for a dock line?
Nylon is the go-to for dock lines because it stretches under load, absorbing the shock from wakes and wind so the force doesn't slam your cleats and hull. This line is premium three-strand nylon.
What color is it and how does it ship?
It's black, and it comes in a clamshell package.
