I keep 4 but they are the 10 1/2 size. I believe you should stay off the dock or boat you are rafted too!

Does anyone use "Tuff End Round Fenders"? They come in white and bright orange and I usually see them on lobster boats in Boston Harbor. Never see them on go fasts, just wondering if anyone has them.8o

Go to www.mooringlines.com and get covers with the Baja logo on them. You can get dock lines with the logo also.

Top Knot is the best rope to buy. Only for one reason. They have a lifetime guarantee. If it breaks, they replace it, no questions asked.

I have not bought a rope in 10 years. Been thru plenty but never paid for one.:biggrin

How much do they charge for their lines? Don't care if they say Baja or not but would like a good quality line.

I have a set of Top Knot lines and one has faded to almost white.
The others look alright. although I have tried to redyed them. The faded one will not take the dye.

I just got 4 black Dolphin fenders in. I messed up and got them smaller than I should have. I was worried about storage space. They will work fine for docking and tying up with boats similiar in size to mine. Oh well, my father is selling his 42 fountain. So I will just five finger discount a couple of his 10 inchers for mine. That should make up the difference.

I just bought top knot ropes. They are great, i opt'ed for the st. George's which are a 2 in 1 line. (they hold your fender and are a dock line. They are great... they also put baja labels on them for free. I also ordered an anchor line, man that is a piece of work. Nothing but high praise for the company top knot ...truly the best dock and anchor line I've seen... also they give a 15% discount for being a offshore power boating member..and the membership is free... for the 5/8 15 ft st George (20-n-1) with a 5 ft line for the fenders i paid about $50 for 2. $25 each sounds like a lot but truly the best quality...and also sent me a free anchor bag...with a baja logo on it as well....man i just cant say enough about these ropes....


they have a website under
www.mooringlines.com/ (http://www.mooringlines.com/)
