How do you Dock?

[ColeBoater]

On the Schiada I made up a line that is approx 25' long with a snap hook in the middle. I hook this to the bow eye and stretch it equally between the cleats on both sides of a slip (assuming a single slip) and then single lines on each side at the rear cleats of the boat and dock. This method keep the boat completely "Sprung" and even though I still put out bumpers the seldom if ever touch the dock.

With the pontoon I just tie off the 4 cleats and hang the bumpers.....but then again it's only a pontoon so who really cares.......that's the beauty of driving one of those sleds

I tie off the exact same way as you do, in the Schiada.
