What do you guys use to tie up to docks? I'm tired of always having a 4' rope on one of my front cleats.

I use a docking line. And then when I untie from the dock I remove the rope and put it in a compartment. Hope this helps.
You could try an Anchor Rein.
I'm thinking about doing one of those bungee ropes on the steering wheel. Anybody do this?

Bungee docking line with a loop and snubbed on each end. Have rope in the boat for backup if needed
Try a 6' foot for a while or just take it off each time.Originally Posted by stumpjumper1
I use a 4ft bungee dock rope that's hooked around my console ram mount below my graph and then I just wrap it around w/e on the dock and put the other end on the handle of the ram mount. Keeps the boat perfectly still.
Power poles and and hamby for me. Pull it right up on the bank beside the dock
I use a couple of these also. Why bass boats don't have a cleat amidship I'll never understand.

Phoenix boats have a cleat by the shifter.

I use the old nylon rope type fish stringers. I keep them wrapped around my boat cleat and the small size stay tight, neat and out of the way. Been using them for about 20 years, and the little metal needle that you'd stick in the ground allows you to feed it back through the wraps so it doesn't unwind while driving, towing, or fishing.
I have a 4' cord. Not a big azz rope.
It goes around my seat post or in my pocket even.

Dock lines are made for docking. 1/2 x 15 Dock lines. I keep 3 in my boat at all times.
They work great for me ,but i got minds from BassPro Shop on sale , about 4 fours ago ....they dont last long when on sell around here .
I just use a dock line with a spliced eye on one end. I put the spliced end thru a forward cleat and then tie off the other end on the dockside cleat.
I put a cleat next to the shifter an just use a short rope. I’m only docking the thing long enough to park the truck or go get the truck.
