What do you use for chafe protection Joe? I've been
using reinforced water hose--taped on.

I like leather too buy it is a bit more work to find
the material, cut it to size and then sew it on.

I have highly polished monel chocks and tend my lines, haven't had any
chaffing problems to speak of. If I needed chaffing gear fire hose
works well, most fire depts have scraps they give away. Also I use 3
strand 3/4" nylon, tends to streach better than any other dock lines
besides a sampson braid.
