Hey All,
Has anyone had experience washing boat lines in a home washing machine?
Will it destroy the machine?

Make sure its not a top-loader, you will have God's own birdsnest. Don't ask how I know.
Fill kitchen size trash can with line, add water, detergent and FABRIC SOFTENER. Let sit 24 hours, pull line out and put back in two or three times, then flush and rinse. The fabric softener does wonders on stiff dock lines.

I've washed my dock lines in home washing machines for years without any issues. I've used both top loaders and front loaders. Both machines put the lines into a large knot but it only takes a few minutes to unwind the knot.
I set the machine up for an additional rinse then, when the machine is done, I just take them outside and string them up to dry.
