ABSTRACT:
A system for mooring boats to docks, consisting of two identical mooring devices, which will accommodate the wide variety of boat hull and dock designs and will prevent damage to boat hulls and docks by maintaining a distance between boats and docks while moored. The mooring device comprises a mounting bracket which may be attached to a dock in various positions and provides for pivotal attachment of mooring arm to mounting bracket which allows vertical movement of mooring arm while preventing horizontal movement of mooring arm. The mooring arm comprises an inner hollow elongated member telescoping within an outer hollow elongated member. A thru bolt secures the two telescoping members at a fixed length by means of vertically aligned holes in both of the two members. An end cap with two side by side openings closes the outer end of the inner member. A single length of rope extends through the bore of the two members. One end of the rope exits through a hole in the outer member adjacent to the mounting bracket. The opposite end of the rope exits through one of the holes in the end cap and enters the other hole in the end cap, is secured within the mooring arm, forming a noose in the rope. A protective cushion is attached to the outside of the end cap.
