Anyone with experience with mooring whips
Does any one have any experience with mooring whips. I am thanking about installing mooring whips on my dock for visitors. I am in rough water, and not sure what size i would need. Do you look at boat weight and factor in rough water and up the size (weight wise), would the heavier weight whips work on lighter boats? Any help would be appreciated.

I have three sets on out dock. I bet I have saved thousands in gel coat repairs over the years because of them.
Well worth the coin they cost. I figured out which ones I needed and then bought the next size up just to be sure.
I went with the two piece units with the big threaded joiners in them. Easier to store two 6 foot sections than one 12 footer.

When I bought my house in FL it had a pair of SS whips mounted on the dock. They appear to be stronger than the glass Mooring Whips.
Might think about that if the water is rough. I think they're great.

I wanted them but our dock gets lots of boat traffic (up to 40 ft cruisers) and the boat would be docked taking the waves broadside......anyone know if they work on a busy channel?

On top of that....we get a pretty strong tide that hits the boats broadside too.
