Ok so as a user of whips, I am always fascinated by the posts.... Why are people using whips and pushing boats, 3 and 4 feet away from the dock?

At most I allow the ships to push the boat 18"-24" away from the dock.... with proper tension, and tying I have never had with my pontoon, or my speedboat hit the dock.....I used whips with a jet, ski and well that was a different story although it rarely hit the dock as well....

As for where I am on the lake, right by the six pack, so it is pretty dang busy....

The biggest mistake I see people make with whips, is not tying the boat off well.....and keep good tension on the whips themselves when at rest.....
