my old slip neighbor, now 8 slips down, sails with 3 fenders haging on each
side. Makes it easy to spot him from a distance.

fenders in a slip is good practice. Lines can break, cleats can give way and so
on. Most boats I see in slips have a few fenders out.

Yup, cuts line wear down by 75% or better. Everyone I ask says they get 1 or 2
more seasons out of them.

Use your head. With the thimble and shackle there's ZERO chafe on the cleat
end. You can also see this done over at better marinas such as Capri and I just
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, making one big
foolish looking asshole out of you. Do you like the abuse? Did you like it
from your Dad?
