Re: EZ-Jax installation

Hi, they have been doing that sense the 1970's maybe before, nothing new.

i have seen people do that from west wight potter 15' and up morgan 41 footer.

very cheap way to do that, most people on the gulf coast do that and over seas.

Re: Dock lines

HI,

I have seen people do it both ways and i have had boats up to 41.

For a long time i bought lines without the eyes, it makes it easyer for people with small boats.

but its up to you.
