Dock Boat Whips

DickR · 07-04-2015, 05:28 PM

Ditto other opinions. I use a pair of 8-footers for a 17-ft boat, but that is in relatively quiet water, with the only wave action coming from boat traffic. Be especially careful to mount the base sockets so that they are anchored firmly to the dock frame. You can mount them to the deck surface, provided that surface is anchored securely to the frame. Many docks depend on the weight of removable deck sections to keep them in place on the frame. The pull of the whips when a good wave passes underneath the boat can lift even heavy deck sections.

I agree with everything that was said here...

My suggesting if your friend is on the nothernside of the lake is to stop in to Center Harbor dock and Pier. His prices might be higher then what you find online, but the always have them in stock....

I purchased mine last year at Center Harbor as well. Very helpful to a new boat/dock owner!
