saw the same thing at Jersey City Marina. It's far better than just tying
it
and there's no stray line on the dock.

bob, you****head, you got shot down on this once before, remember? you were
even stupid enough to buy a shackle, install it on your dock cleat, the
wrong way BTW, and take pics and post them on the internet,


Sorry, Scotty Potty, but YOU all got slammed. I took more than one pic. ALL
boats at these marinas have this setup and I see it more and more. I even
posted the sign at the club explaining to members that this is SOP.
Anytime you want to come have a look, I'll bet you ANY $$$$ that ALL marinas
here use that system. South and North Min., Anna's harbor slips, even the
private docking for the condos!
Well? Put up or shut up!
