If one can expect certain conditions these appurtenances may not be
the best choice. However, in transient situations they certainly can
be convenient to establish fender height to match available dockage,

The fender line devices are handy, but, IMO, a Clove Hitch is just as fast
and adjustable.
Personally, I don't do it like in the pictures attached. *I tie them to the
vertical sections of the rail, near the base.

Knots are the final word.. My dad was a scoutmaster and I was about 8
when the boyscouts had a Jamboree. During the knot tieing
competitions, I kept getting dq'ed by the other scoutmasters (for not
being a scout yet) so I would stand on the side and still whip their
asses.. Anyway, knots have made my life so much easier in so many
instances.. Clove, and Boline are what I use the most, but I still
enjoy blowing the kids away with a quick monkey fist or splice...
