The heavy bow chock is suitable for installation at positions with high stress. This bow chock can usually be applied in front of the mooring posts at the bow, stern or midsection of the boat.When the rope needs to change direction, the bow chock can provide a smooth turning point.
The opening of the bow chock should in the opposite direction of the rope's movement.Otherwise, when the rope slackens, it will slip out through the opening.Especially at the bow position, the released ropes may directly hit the hull or the deck, which is extremely dangerous.
If the bow chock is directly installed, when the rope is under tension, the bow chock will concentrate the force around the installation hole. Over time, this may cause damage to the hull or the deck.When installing the bow chock, adding a stainless steel backing plate can help distribute the tension.
