Line Storage
Keep Your Lines Tidy with Line Organizers from West Marine
Keeping lines tidy and organized on a boat is important for several reasons. First, it reduces the risk of accidents and injuries caused by tripping over loose lines or getting tangled in them. Second, keeping your lines organized and ready for immediate use makes it easier to use them when needed. Third, keeping your deck tidy and your lines organized is a mark of good seamanship, which can improve crew morale and make your guests feel more secure.
Find the line hangers you need at West Marine
To make boat line storage easy and to keep your lines organized, West Marine offers a number of inexpensive, easy-to-install devices. These include dock line holders, shock cord hangers, plastic line hangers and dock line holders and utility hooks suitable for mounting on a dock piling.
Examples of Line Hangers and Organizers
Examples of line hangers include Taylor Made’s Tidy-Ups™ Line Holder, which is a plastic strap that mounts to a boat’s railing and that provides a secure way to hold and keep rope, electrical cords and more within easy reach.
Ronstan’s Shockcord Line Hangers are another option. These are a common sight in the cockpits of sailboats, where they are used to keep coiled sheets and halyards out of the way but ready for use. They are also often installed within a sailboat’s cockpit locker, where they keep coiled lines dry and ready for use.
Yet another option are Schaefer’s Handi Hangers which easily mount to any flat surface, and are typically located on bulkheads, and within lazarettes. They are perfect for organizing and storing anchor lines, running rigging, hoses, electrical cords and other items.
