If you are interested in purchasing a docking system for your boat or PWC but don’t want to spend a fortune, you may want to consider looking into mooring whips that are sold by Boat Lift Warehouse. Mooring whips consist of a double-braided line or marine rope that is hooked onto a flexible pole made out of fiberglass that is mounted to your dock or floating docks. The roller tip located on the end of each pole is the gear-like mechanism that the line threads through to attach to the boat. It keeps the line moving to allow the boat to rock away from the dock, yet keeps a stronghold on it. One whip is attached to the bow of your boat and one whip is attached to the stern. The whip’s spring tension keeps the boat safely secured to your dock or floating docks, keeping it out of harm’s way where it could get scratched or damaged.
A boat whip system is a great choice for lakes, protected marinas, canals, and low wake zones. Be wary though – If your anchorage space is in really rough waters, a boat whip system may not be the best way to go. They may not hold well in hurricane-strength winds, so it is recommended that you do not use if foul weather is expected.
Benefits Of Mooring Whips:
- Easy to attach to the boat and un-attach when you’re ready to go.
- Provides protection from high winds and other boat wakes by keeping the boat from bumping against the floating docks.
- Inexpensive alternative to boat davits and lifts.
- Strong and unobtrusive (doesn’t obstruct the view like a boat lift).
- Vertical storage when you’re out for the day.
- Some can be broken down into two pieces for easy winter storage.
