ABSTRACT:
An electronic line coupler for a boat is provided. The line coupler connects a mooring line from a dock or mooring post to the boat. One end of the line is suitably attached to the dock or post and the other end of the line is attached to a projection. The projection is received in a recess of the boat with the recess preferably being located in a cleat. A latch holds the projection in the recess when inserted thereinto and securely holds the line until the latch is released. In a preferred form, the latch is electrically-operated by an operator or pilot located at the boat controls or other desired position. The operator can then release the latch to uncouple the line projection from the recess when he wishes to cast off and leave the dock or post. The line is preferably equipped with an elastic connection between two spaced portions thereof to aid in urging the line projection from the boat recess and to aid in holding it above the water level.
