Gear: Folding Line Chocks Offer Surface Mount Versatility

Folding Chocks

Chocks that hold mooring lines in position enhance the functionality of any boat but can be difficult to install where they’re needed most, such as over bulkheads, adjacent to railings, on swim platforms or on narrow deck spaces. Accon Marine 502 series Surface Mount Folding Chocks not only boast a low-profile design but eliminate the need for cut-outs altogether. They facilitate quick and easy DIY installation just about anywhere, requiring only three screws.

Accon Surface Mount Folding Chocks flip up with light finger pressure when needed, then fold flat when no longer required. This helps preserve a vessel’s clean, uncluttered look while eliminating potential for snagging fishing lines, sheets, straps or other personal items.

Engineered from corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel for exceptional strength and durability, Accon 502-4 version chocks measure under 4″ L x 2-1/2″ W to easily fit crowded deck spaces. Overall height is 1-1/2″ when extended to accommodate up to 5/8″ dia. lines. For larger vessels, Accon 502-6 chocks measure 5-1/4″ L and just over 3″ W, with an overall extended height just under 2″, for mooring lines up to 3/4″ dia.

Sold in pairs (one port and one starboard)  throughout Canada MSRP for Accon Marine 502-4 Surface Mount Folding Chocks is US$164.66. The larger 502-6 version is US$268.16.

Hiding Out in Belize

Dodging holiday havoc in the tropics

Getting out of town was top-of-mind as it was only November and I was already saturated with Christmas traditions – the music, the glitter, the cookies, the sales. A week in relatively remote Belize was the siren song so we booked a 45-foot catamaran with The Moorings and packed our bags.
