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.
