    Bungee Dock Line

    Hi, I just picked up a couple of bungee dock lines on impluse. I keep my boat at the cottage in the summer...on a lake no tide...and use boat whips and lines. Seems to work well but I thought these might make it even easier to tie up. Anyone ever used these things or have any input?.....cheers
