The partner has run the spring lines through some eye screws in the dock between the dock and boat cleats.

They are toe stubbers and increase chafe. Does anyone do this? Other thoughts? He thinks it’s brilliant. I don’t like it.

I agree with you 100%. What is he actuLly hoping to accomplish? It’s a head scratcher to me!

Show your partner the chafe and the potential cost of repairs to toe rail or stanchions.
