ABSTRACT:
A hand-manipulated device for mooring boats to docks, both of the same being provided with cleats, and the device comprising essentially an elongate spacer member having opposite end fittings each provided with an outer edge. These edges are recessed to provide a concave, cleat-receiving seat for proper positionment of the device. The device itself includes suitable apertures for receiving an elongate flexible member such as a cord that is loosely looped at the opposite ends of the device to loop over and engage the cleats. The cord is then pulled tight such that the loops tightly surround the cleat risers or posts, and the cord is itself fastened to a cleat provided the device so that the cord is maintained in top condition. The device thus not only secures the boat to a dock, by the cleats of the same, but also, by virtue of the nature of the elongate spacer member, the boat is held in a spaced condition relative to the dock so that the boat sides will not be marred through jarring against the dock or its supporting pillars. The elongate spacer member is preferably of telescoping nature so that the length thereof can be adjusted.
