We use this when hooking up to oil platforms for bottom fishing. a 10' piece of pvc pipe, a 1/2" rope with a loop the piece of garden hose keeps the loop open to fit over a cleat or even a piling. It would be a big help docking, I recently made a smaller one using vinyl coated SS wire instead of rope it works well too. it has a large loop about 20" dia on one end for pilings and a smaller loop on the other end for lock pins or cleats I don't have a picture of it now but will post in a few days. Of course a bow thruster and a big rudder help on a single engine boat.
