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.

Just when you thought you might never see the Galley Guys again, there they were waving from the flying bridge of a Le Boat Horizon 3 gliding down the Trent Severn Waterway (TSW) in the sun. Glorious!

In the past the Galley Guys have travelled far and wide to great locations to explore the good life on a boat. However, this year we stayed in our own backyard for a real treat; cruising The Trent Severn Waterway.
