1/2" x 2' 3 Strand Mooring Pendant Line 100% Nylon High Quality Rope with Stainless Steel Thimble. Made in USA .
Our High Quality Mooring Pendant 100% Nylon rope has three characteristics that make it ideal for dock line and mooring line. 100% Nylon rope is incredibly strong, it is very stretchy, and it resists the harmful effects of sunlight better than any of those expensive fancy-name synthetics. 100% Nylon ropes value of strength is self-evident, but the benefits of elasticity may not be as obvious. When your boat surges against an unyielding dock line / mooring line, the load on the line goes from zero to the maximum at the instant the line comes taut. The likely consequence is a broken line-not unlike how you might snap a piece of thread with a jerk. Even if the rope is strong enough not to break, it is hammering cleats and bitts with every surge. 100% Nylon rope doesn't come taut suddenly, but dissipates the load by stretching. It is like the difference between hitting the steering wheel or hitting the air bag. As for 100% nylon rope's resistance to ultraviolet damage, Mooring lines, particularly permanent dock lines, live in the sun. dbRopesTM lines enjoy a much longer life than other lines in that environment.

Hi, I'm looking for mooring pendants for my HOA fresh water mooring field. 36" max length/minimum 5/16" galvanized. Can also use braided. It will connect to a u bolt on the mooring chain. I also need a backup pendant....so I guess I need a 3' and a 4'? I have a 19' Yamaha jet boat. I'm not sure exactly what I need. Hoping you can help. Thank you Kevin
Kevin, thank you for your interest.
Fir your boat I recommend two mooring pendant with soft splice eye on boat end and thimble on buoy end (attached to the buoy with shackle). You should attach the splice soft eyes to the bow cleats ( without thimbkes, to the port and starboard).
The lenght will be better egual (to have best stability),1/2" x 8' will be good.
Let ne know if you need more help.
Thanks again
Dani
