ABSTRACT:
A boat hook which permits selectively releasable connection with respect to a conventional snap-hook of a standard mooring line. The boat hook is composed of a handle which terminates at a remote end in a snap-hook holder. The snap-hook holder is composed of two parts: (1) a seating member which is dimensioned so that the general vicinity of the eyelet area of a conventional snap-hook can seat snugly therein, and (2) a biasing member, which is hingably biased with respect to the seating member so as to selectively retain the snap-hook seated in the seating member. Once the snap-hook has been manipulated by the handle so as to be connected onto an eyelet of an object, such as the bow eyelet of a boat, a sharp pull on the handle will cause the snap-hook to be released from the handle of the boat hook.
