 So we recommend having your dock lines and your polyballs tied off to the boat when you're approaching the dock. Just to show you how it's done, I'm gonna demonstrate taking the loop in, through our cleat on the stern of the boat, cinching it down, letting the boat situated. I'm gonna come down to the cleat, I'm gonna go around and just do a simple cross pattern. And so I've done that, I'm gonna make a simple loop with the line in my hand. Like so, do that a couple of times. And the reason for this, the loop knot is cinching the line down. So any stress that you have coming from the boat trying to pull off the dock, will cinch the line down tighter and somewhat secure your boat. So now that we've got the boat tied off, we recommend either using polyballs or a traditional round bumper. When we take it, make sure it's level with the dock, and I'm gonna tie around the same stern cleat I tied the rope off to. In the same pattern I tied up with the dock, this is just gonna protect your hole from the dock.
