[Public-List] chafing gear

[Dennis K. Biby]

Like Glenn, I have used clear plastic tubing for many, many years.
With a soldering iron, I round off the inner end-surface to prevent
chafing.

If the tube is long enough, it won't slip through the chock.  Or, to
be secure, I drill a hole near one end and thread a short piece of
line through the tube and through the three-strand dock line.

Never had any signs of wear after years of use.  Also when anchoring, it's possible to slide the tubing up and down on the rode for different depths.
