Common Concerns Answered
Are fasteners included with these chocks?
No, fasteners are not included with the Sea-Dog Stainless Steel Skene Chocks. You will need to source two FH fasteners appropriate for your hull material and thickness.
Will these chocks be sufficient for extremely heavy-duty applications?
While these chocks accommodate lines up to 3/4" and are constructed from robust 316 stainless steel, users with exceptionally heavy-duty applications may consider larger chocks for added capacity. The current design is well-suited for typical use on vessels up to this line diameter.
How does the design prevent lines from releasing unexpectedly?
The chocks feature an overlapping tip design. This engineering creates a secure cradle for your mooring line, effectively preventing it from working its way free during dynamic loads or vessel movement against the dock.
