So, maybe I should have asked this before. If there is a post I need pointed to, I'd appreciate that.
What is the proper way to dock my boat. Right now I get out my bumpers, attach my two lines, pull up to the dock and tie off.
I ask because I'm not sure I'm doing it right. We have vacation coming in a few weeks where I rented a slip for the boat, so I want to make sure I get this right before leaving the boat unattended while docked.
Specifically, what weight rope should I user for my boat of about 3500#. What's the proper way to tie to the dock cleat or whatever is available? What is the safe and easy to tie and untie the line from the dock?
Thanks for helping with my long overdue question.
