How Can I Prevent my Docking Lines From Fraying so Quickly?

Question:

I am having a problem with my boat tie downs fraying really fast, not sure if it is because materials are not what they used to be?? I have a Sylvan Sea Troller and looking for a durable tie down.....Thanks.

This can be a very common problem especially in waters that have waves or a lot of traffic. While we do not yet carry the actual lines we do offer a great way to protect them. Using something like the Taylor Made Chafe Guards for 3/4" Diameter Dock Lines part # 36996014 or one of the other options I've linked below for you will keep the lines from fraying so quickly and help extend their life.
