Marinemart Boating Supplies Handpicks Chafe-Pro® to Protect Mooring Lines

(PRWEB) November 17, 2009 – Always responding to customers’ needs and concerns, Marinemart Boating Accessories recently completed an extensive analysis and determined Chafe-Pro® was the best way to keep boaters’ mooring lines from wearing down, fraying, and failing.  Although Marinemart.com has no former relationship with the inventors of Chafe-Pro®, they simply could not deny the selection of the best marine chafing gear offered on the world market today.

Due to 24 hours-a-day seven days-a-week abrasion, attack from UV rays, mildew, and salt corrosion, mariner’s lines can break down quickly and dramatically.  With possible ramifications yielding everything from a damaged hull to a lost vessel, ensuring the longevity of one’s lines with Chafe-Pro® is imminently critical.

The problem is simple.  Lines are getting more expensive and varied.  Boaters need an uncomplicated insurance program for them.  Marinemart Boating Supplies offers that simple and flexible insurance by distributing Chafe-Pro®.  Nylon, Kevlar®, Spectra, HMW-PE, and other polyethylene and polyester lines have their lifespan significantly elongated by Chafe-Pro®.  It comes in both a ‘commercial grade’ for large vessels and a ‘yacht grade’ for smaller craft.

Boaters can benefit from this new invention if they run a line around a cleat or post, over a cap rail, or have lines that cross at the anchor roller.  It’s now okay if dock lines are exposed to the elements or if a boat tussles about while tied down.  For those who seek others for validation of a product, the U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. Army, the Military Sealift Command, NOAA, and MARAD use Chafe-Pro® by choice.

Enjoy the flexibility of Chafe-Pro®.  All models are downward compatible relative to line sizes.  No lashings or lacings are required to secure it to a line because of a unique arrangement of nylon hooks.  It works in dock, moored with another vessel, under tow, and essentially anywhere boaters use a rope or line.  It keeps lines coiled, shelters shroud & stay turnbuckles, maintains sails furled on booms, and can even protect rope from abrasion when rock or mountain climbing.  Installation and removal of Chafe-Pro® is ridiculously easy since it’s hand-wrapped around the line it’s saving.  Boaters can even install it on lines already in position.

So, if interested in not spending a fortune on dock lines next year or in not mending a hull gash, or perhaps if arranging a seaborne search party for a lost boat seems slightly undesirable, head on over to marinemart.com and acquire Chafe-Pro® right now.  Protect the lines that protect your boat. 

 Marinemart originated from the heart and soul of boating enthusiasts in mid 2009.  Based out of Tampa, Florida, and with the support of an international technology company, Marinemart.com seeks a new standard as an on-line marketplace.  The excitement is viral once people get to know Marinemart.  Introducing brand new items to America, like the amazing new Waterbuoy, is a perfect example.  The Marinemart experience simply offers higher value at a price comparable to traditional boat supply outlets.  Don’t spend hours surfing the web for an item offered by some fly-by-night vendor.  Log on and be part of the most expansive boating supplies venue.  Relax, it’s Marinemart.
