Looks like a pretty good idea! If it stands up to the rigors of a life in the sal****er of the oceans..... it might work out. |

Moorings are exposed to the elements 24/7 and subject to very high shock loads during storms. We've been seeing more of a better system in recent years where the mooring buoy has a bowl shaped appendage on the top where you can coil the mooring lines as you drop them. That keeps the lines out of the water without introducing any complexity, moving parts or weak links. |
