Chafe Guards (also known as line or rope protectors or covers) protects your ropes and your boat at the stress points of contact. The chafe guard wraps around your dock line to protect the coat of your boat and stop the ever present squeaking noise made by the friction of a rope rubbing against a hard surface.
Cape Marine chafe guards open flat and close around your rope tightly wherever you need to place it using Velcro fasteners along the entire length. Chafe guards can be made out of materials like canvas or fleece, however with the amount of friction they are subject to, a thicker, tougher material is preferable. Cape Marine makes chafe guards from a soft yet durable, UV resistant, thick polyester material that won't dry out or tear easily and will typically last more than one season (unlike chafe guards made of thinner materials like fleece.)
Chafe guards prolong the life of your dock lines as well as the finish of your boat, and make you a better marina neighbor by not being the source of squeaking dock lines.
