Chafing gear doesn't do much for internal chafing. I have seen dock lines
destroy themselves from the inside out when they are constantly
worked over the course of a season. Very common in anchor rode
during extnded periods of heavy weather as well.

I can see replacing all
dock lines annually if they get a constant wookout though.
That's what chafing gear is for, no?
