Frog Hooks

[Hap]

Does anybody use "Frog Hooks" at their dock? If so any photos!

I can't say that I know that term... what does a 'frog hook' do, or what is it used for? :?

I think the commercial name for them is Froggy Davits. I have rented boats from Marinas that use them. They are foam davits, with metal sides that attach to the side of the dock. Once your boat is backed in, you attach the davits to the stern rings via a clip. They are secure, but a pain in the A#$.

A little Googling found this:

I've seen these things before, but didn't know what they were called.

Looked good until i saw the price on the 48" model...for $748 I can buy an awful lot of dock lines !!!

Looks like the laws of physics would end up placing a lot of torque on them during any kind of windy condition.

Think I'll pass.
