It comes with a 12 inch pre-spliced eye, so you drop the loop over a cleat and cleat off the other end. Nylon stretch soaks up wake and wind, and it's built to shrug off saltwater, UV, and abrasion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA good dock line is one of those things you don't think about until you need it. The T-H Marine BE-CO-52821-DP is a 3\/8 inch by 25 foot line spun from premium three-strand nylon, and it's built to do one job well: hold your boat where you left it. One end carries a 12 inch pre-spliced eye, so you drop the loop over a cleat or piling and cleat off the other end. No knots to fuss with in the rain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy nylon? Because it stretches. And that stretch matters more than most folks realize. When a wake rolls through the marina or the wind pipes up overnight, the line takes up that shock instead of your cleats and hull hardware. Three-strand twisted nylon has a bit more give than double-braid, which is exactly what you want on a dock line. It works like a shock absorber between the boat and the dock, so nothing gets slammed. The rated breaking strength is 3240 pounds with a safe working load of 648 pounds, plenty for the small to mid-size boats these lines are made for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three-strand twist gives you a smooth, rounded surface that rides easy over a cleat horn or a piling edge, which cuts down on chafe where the line takes the most wear. It's also the easiest construction to inspect and re-splice down the road. If a section ever gets chewed up, three-strand is forgiving to work with. The white finish keeps it looking clean at the dock and makes it easy to spot a frayed or glazed spot that says the line has been working hard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat 12 inch pre-spliced eye is a small thing that makes a real difference. Slip it over the dock cleat or piling first, then run the bitter end to the boat and cleat it off. When you come back, you cast off the boat end and the eye stays put on the dock, ready for next time. It's faster than tying and untying at both ends, and a factory splice is stronger and neater than most dock knots people tie in a hurry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNylon shrugs off the stuff that kills cheaper rope. This line is built to resist UV, abrasion, sunlight, and saltwater, and nylon won't rot or mildew the way natural fiber does. Leave it out in the sun and salt season after season and it holds up. A quick freshwater rinse now and then keeps it supple and extends its life. Store it out of direct sun when the boat's on the trailer and it'll last for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizing is straightforward. A 3\/8 inch line is the common choice for small to mid-size boats, and 25 feet gives you enough working length for most slip and finger-pier setups. A good rule of thumb is roughly 1\/8 inch of line diameter for every 9 feet of boat, so 3\/8 inch covers a lot of trailer boats, center consoles, and runabouts. Most boaters keep a set of four for a proper tie-up, two bow and stern lines plus a pair of spring lines. Toss an extra in the locker as a spare, because the day you need one is never the day you planned for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is honest, everyday dock line. It's the kind of gear you rig once and forget about, which is the whole point. If you're setting up a new slip, replacing a tired set that's gone stiff and gray, or just want a reliable spare aboard, the pre-spliced eye and proven three-strand nylon make it an easy call. Cleat it off, check it now and then, and it'll do its job quietly for a long time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwisted 3-strand premium nylon construction absorbs shock loads from wake, wind, and current so your cleats and hull hardware take less abuse.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3240 pound breaking strength with a 648 pound safe working load, sized right for small to mid-size boats.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch diameter by 25 foot length covers most slip and finger-pier tie-ups.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12 inch pre-spliced eye drops over a cleat or piling with no knots to tie in the rain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSmooth, rounded 3-strand surface minimizes chafe where the line rides over cleats and piling edges.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eResists UV, abrasion, sunlight, and saltwater, and nylon won't rot or mildew.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWhite finish stays clean-looking and makes wear and fraying easy to spot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEasy to inspect and re-splice, so a worn section is simple to repair down the road.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized T-H Marine Supplies reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat size boat is this dock line good for?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe 3\/8 inch diameter suits small to mid-size boats.
