Good choice
More flexible than conventional shock absorbers. Can also be attached after mooring.

So far, they've served them well.

The reviews don't lie this is the BEST of the best
Installed 42 of these bungys on 7 mooring lines (6 pcs per line) on my 48 foot catamaran (17 tons). It is extremely fast and simple to install them compared to other shock absorbers or stainless steel springs & chains like I used to have. All mooring lines can stay in place; you just need to slack them one by one while you install the bungys. I went for 6 pcs per line (following manufacturer's recommendation), however, after seen their stretch and built quality, I think 4 or 5 would probably been enough. Better safe than sorry, they are so cheap (compared to other systems) that I prefer to have a few more.

The first real proof of quality came when a large vessel passed by my mooring. This would usually result in big surges & heavy shock loads on my cleats. Not anymore!!! The boat just gently moves back and forward, no more squeeking of ropes. I am seriously impressed. Hats off to the makers!!

Oh, yes I have read several testimonials that these things are still in great shape after 20 (!) years!! Now THAT is incredible.

Quick and easy solution
For short mooring lines and smaller anchor lines, providing perfect shock absorption at the cleat! Quick to install – and even with the line already deployed!

dampens and is very easy to assemble or disassemble
We have this part for lines that were rattling on the mast. This tensions the mast enough to keep it steady. The workmanship and material make a good impression. I can't comment on its lifespan yet.

Best of all mooring compensators
This is by far the best mooring compensator on the market. I have used Bungy for almost 15 years on my 40 foot sailboat. I have 6 bungy on each of my 4 mooring and anchor lines. The boat lies silky smooth and soft in the harbor like a baby in its cradle no matter how windy it is and I don't hear any squeaking sounds. I just bought an extra Bungy for use on my topping lift because I heard from a friend that Bungy removed the annoying guitar strumming vibrations when the boat is anchored.

Looks small - but works great
I didn't think it could do it - but it works great. I even use it with 2 lines in a loop on the jetty. With the small boat, one bungee per line (pair) is enough. It's on and off in a flash. Small problem - it doesn't float. Wow!

Visually stunning
According to the description, it's easy to assemble. I can't give a review myself yet as I have this product as a spare.

Wears out the mooring lines
While the shock absorbers are easy and effortless to install and remove, they are visibly rubbing against the mooring lines I ordered after just one season! I therefore cannot recommend them. Unfortunately!

The material hardens due to UV exposure. Suitable for the Baltic Sea, but not for the tropics.
Easy to install, a good idea. However, after a year in the tropics, it hardened and no longer provided any cushioning.
