like to see one that's strong enough to moor your boat. Have you ever
had to cut one free because you couldn't detach it in rough weather?

We don't moor the boat with it - we just grab the mooring ball and
attach a pennant if there isn't one. The snap shackle (on the end of
a pole), just helps with the grabbing part, and I think it can be
rigged so that once you've got it, the pennant - already attached to
the bridle - is automatically attached.

Never had to cut one free, because it isn't on the mooring ball except
when we are getting it.
