Description
Our 3 strand Equalizer Mooring Pendant is 100% nylon twisted rope in two sections that form a Y and slide through each other, for securing your boat to a mooring ball. Because the sections slide, there is always equal pressure on both bow cleats, even when the boat sways, and the boat stays in line with the buoy, which adds life to both the pendant and your boat. The shorter V leg has an eye splice for each cleat, and the longer leg to the ball has a stainless steel thimble splice on both ends. The balanced, 4 stage, firm lay construction is strong and stretchy for rough water and resists sun and wear. It's the step up from our Double Mooring Pendant, and for a tougher polyester cover, choose the double braid Equalizer.

Questions
How it works
How does the equalizer work?
It is two sections of rope in a Y shape that slide through each other. That equalizes the tension. There is always equal pressure on your boat cleats, even when the boat sways in the water.
How long is each leg?
The shorter V leg is 40% of the total length. It has two eye splices that attach to the cleats on the front of your boat. The longer leg is 60% of the total length. It attaches to the mooring ball and has stainless steel thimble splices on both ends.
Where is the chafe guard?
It is where the thimble slides and where the rope could touch the boat. It protects the rope from rubbing.
