I spent a huge amount of time trying to come up with some way to keep
a boat *centered between two pilings as the tide went up or down even
for storm surges. *Thought about all kinds of mechanisms that kept
constant tension on the lines while allowing it to lengthen and then
shorten. *THEN, somebody else thought of something really simple, an
idea I admire. *It is simply balls with holes thru them threaded onto
the line that goes around your pilings. *They roll up and down the
piling as the water rises and falls. *I cannot remember the product
name, does anybody know it? *Has anybody used it?


Can't answer your question, but we do see a lot of them up here.

I kept googling "tidemaster" and could not find it. I am in awe of
something so simple.
