Dockmate Anchor Buddy Anchor Line | Effortless Anchoring & Secure Boat Mooring | Stretchable from 14' to 50' | 4,000-lb Capacity

I have used this once or twice a week for over two years and it's indispensable for anchoring in a choppy lake. I have it connected to a box anchor by Slide Anchor, and the Dockmate prevents the anchor from getting pulled up suddenly when a surf wave hits. This rope is a must-have for anchoring by the beach. I throw the box anchor with the Dockmate line off the front, then with a normal anchor rope off the back I'll pull the boat close to the shore and tie it off on a tree or a beach spike (also made by Slide Anchor). That keeps my boat's bow pointing into the waves and prevents it from weathervaning. When I'm ready to get moving again, I can cast off the rear line and the Dockmate will pull the boat away from shore. The only problem is if there's nobody on shore to cast your line off from the beach, you have to do it yourself. Now you're now 30-50 feet away from a boat that wants to zoom away from you. I've had to get pretty good at holding the boat back with the rope while mountain climbing my way through the water. Totally worth it though, Dockmate is doing its job! One last tip: I recommend using two lines on your anchor: A normal anchor line and the Dockmate line. The non-stretchy line will make it easier to pull your anchor out when it's really set well, plus it preserves the elasticity of the Dockmate line.

Used it to moor a Capri 14.2 in small cove. Worked well pulling the boat to shore, getting in and out, raising the sails and exiting the cove Fabulous!

It stretches, and it retracts, and it holds my 21' yamaha. I really love using this rope. I always have a backup rope to my anchor which I use to pull it up. I don't like pulling the anchor up with this bungee. But it could do that too in a bind I think.

As advertised and prompt delivery.

Use on my 20 ft pontoon anchor

Great item. I would say max you can use it on is like 20’ boat that is around 2,000 to 3,000 lbs

When combined with my box anchor and a Danik hook, this is the right rig to anchor my 22 foot wake boat. It allows me to set the anchor far enough from shore to protect the prop, and pull the boat in closer to get on and off the boat in shallower water. The buddy then pulls the boat to safer/deeper water.

Works well on a 32 foot boat. A little tricky in the wind.

This product really works

Perfect to hold a large boat/pontoon from drifting.

Works well. As described and expected

Absolutely love the anchor buddy. Anyone who has seen it in action, wants one.

When stretch out, it doesn't spring back all the way, and has a lot of warnings in the instructions, like don't leave in sunlight or don't leave unattended, etc.
