apparently degrade rather fast. And, $35 each??

What do you think? Do you use them?

Never used one yet. But I'm not to worried about yanking my cleats
off.
Save your money, just use 3 strand nylon it has plenty of spring.
Snubbers for dock lines are for West Marine, and boatsUS fools.

PS.. Splice in a thimble for the shackle.

Yeah, I need to do that for my own lines. I'm still using the ones that were
there when I brought the boat up.
