I use different colored line for different lengths. The white ones are short, the green ones are 20', and the black ones are long. Can't remember the exact length of the white and black ones off the top of my head right now. Also, easier to tell an assistant what line you need. I.e. "Just give me a white one."

I have taped near the eye w different colored "magic" tape... no adhesive adheres to itself when stretched. Same could be done at bitter end w colored tape, shrink tube or whipping to distinguish lengths

My green travel lines have colored whipping to indicate lengths, red bow, white spring, and blue stern. My home slip lines are white with the ends heat sealed. So coloring the bow and stern lines ends with a colored Sharpie was the solution.

Ditto, almost. Our focus is on purpose, so black for bow and stern, white for spring, a single gold for heavier "warping spring."

I saw this posted somewhere and wonder if anyone else has tried something like it.

The downside would be having to tie/untie the lines from the rails. Especially while standing over an open locker. I could double up using rails like that and then the straps but then I'd hanging the lines pretty low once the hatch was closed.

Anyone else come up with a novel solution for stowing lines in a cockpit locker?
This is working for me well
