Swivels
Shackles
Pennant Lines
Swivels: This is often the weakest point of most moorings and the most common place for failure. Swivels are typically replaced every three years. We recommend either a ¾” or 7/8” swivel. If you are unsure about the wear on your swivel, we would recommend replacing it.

Pennant Lines
Pennant Line: We typically sell custom made pennant lines, although we can also order Yale or other braided lines if you prefer. A typical pennant line we sell is made with ½” to 1” three strand nylon line and a heavy duty thimble. These cost an extra dollar but are worth the small investment. The average life of a pennant line is approximately three to four years.

Mooring Balls: We have several different sizes and types of mooring balls on hand. Styles include hard plastic with shackle pocket, inflatable polyform balls (bottom connect or through ball), and PVC (lobster style floats). In our experience we have found that the PVC style works well in most areas where there is current because you don’t have the problem of a shackle scratching the side of your boat. We would be happy to discuss further the benefits and drawbacks of the various styles depending on your situation.
