The Harbor Patrol now requires that approved mooring repair companies report the condition of mooring lines (or mooring pendants
) to them and also turn in a completed work order when the line work is completed. In addition to shore mooring lines, South Mooring Co. keeps a complete inventory of lines for offshore boats in stock and can put them on for you immediately.

If you like doing your own line work, as many of us do, it will be necessary for you to contact the Harbor Patrol when the work is done, so that they can inspect it.
Thanks for the post. I think it great that the Harbor Patrol requires mooring repair companies to report the condition of the lines. I think that can really help to ensure that they are in good condition. I think replacing them before they can become a problem is a really good idea.
