ABSTRACT:
An extendible mooring hook has a pair of jaw members spring biased to an open position with a shuttle removably retained on one jaw member. A detent mechanism engages the shuttle member when the jaw members close around a mooring post and pulls the shuttle, and attached mooring line, around the mooring post when the jaw members return to their open position. The pole portion can be extended, and a incorporates a traveler mechanism to compensate for changes in cable length so that cable tension is maintained when the pole is extended.
