ABSTRACT:
A mooring line coupler connects a mooring line from a dock or mooring post to a boat and releases the mooring line from the boat from a remote location on the boat. The coupler includes a cleat mounted on the boat with the cleat having a rotatable bar carrying a projection at an intermediate portion thereof. The projection engages the mooring line when in a first position and releases the mooring line when in a second position. A releasable latch engages and holds the projection when the latch is in a first position and the projection is in the first position. The latch has a second position spaced from the projection to enable it to move to the second position. The latch is moved from the first position toward the second position by remote controls which can be located at an operator's station.
