Boat mooring gear encompasses the equipment and accessories used to secure a boat or vessel to a dock, pier, buoy, or anchor.

1. Mooring Lines or Ropes: Strong, durable lines made from materials like nylon, polyester, or polypropylene. They come in various lengths and thicknesses depending on the size and weight of the boat.
2. Dock Cleats: Metal or plastic fittings mounted on docks or boats to which mooring lines are secured. Cleats come in various shapes and sizes, including horn cleats, flat cleats, and open-base cleats.
3. Mooring Buoy: Buoyant devices anchored in the water used as mooring points when docks or piers are not available. Mooring buoys typically have a strong mooring line or chain attached to an anchor on the seabed.
4. Boat hooks: Come in various lengths and materials, including aluminum, fiberglass, and wood. Telescoping boat hooks are also available, allowing for easy storage and adjustable length. When choosing a boat hook, consider factors such as durability, weight, and the type of tasks you'll be using it for. Proper care and maintenance, such as rinsing with freshwater after use and storing in a dry place, will help prolong the life of your boat hook.
5.  Springs & Snubbers: Elastic or shock-absorbing devices used to reduce strain on mooring lines caused by waves, wind, or boat movement. Snubbers are typically attached between the mooring line and the cleat or other attachment point. Springs also known simply as a spring line or a snubber, is a type of line used in boat mooring to provide elasticity and absorb shock. It's typically used in conjunction with other mooring lines to secure a boat to a dock, pier, or mooring buoy

Proper selection and use of mooring gear are essential for safely securing a boat in place during docking, mooring, or anchoring. Regular inspection and maintenance of mooring gear are also crucial to ensure it remains in good working condition and can effectively secure the boat when needed.
