This is a Taylor Made chafe guard, part 96014, cut for 3/4 in line. It is made of strong, abrasion resistant rubber and measures 14 in long, sold as a pair. It slides through the chock to protect your line. For thinner 1/2 to 5/8 in line the maker lists a different part, 96013, so check the number against your line size before you choose.
Our take
The 96014 is sized for 3/4 in line only, while 1/2 to 5/8 in line needs the 96013, so match the number to your line first. It is a 14 in rubber guard that slides through the chock, sold as a pair.
From our buying guide
Chafe is repeated rubbing that weakens and cuts a line's fibers over time. Polyform says always to use chafing gear where mooring lines run through bow chocks or are likely to touch deck hardware.
Check before you buy:
- It fits your line. Davis's 397, for one, takes line from 3/8 to 1 in.
- It suits how the line runs. Some slide through chocks, and some have a seam to face away from any bend around a cleat or roller.
