Re: Dock line silencing
What noise are you hearing? Must be something to do with the lines you bought, maybe a cheap Chinese knock off made with recycled materials? Just find it odd that I have never heard dock line noise in my entire boating life.

Re: Dock line silencing
Also if the lines are old and stretched under very heavy wind load they will creak........are your lines stiff ??
Dock lines can be recovered a bit by washing and soaking in fabric softener, but it only works for a while. I always liked three strand and not too big as to not allow some stretch, very important to keep the biggest part of the shock load off the boat cleat.....line snubbers come in handy for this if your dock is open to wind and boat wakes.

Re: Dock line silencing
Tony, do you tie off to cleats on the dock or to piles? If it's piles, tying off higher on the pile would keep the line off the deck.
