1. What size linedudes® are right for my boat?

You should base your decision on what size line you currently use to moor
your boat. Select the model of linedude that uses the same size line.

2.How much line is included in each unit?

There is 15’ on the 3/8” model (C1, P series) and 17’ on the ½” model (C2) and
27' on the 5/8" model (C3).

3. Am I able to purchase replacement lines?

Yes, you will be able to purchase replacement lines online or from your authorized
linedudes® dealer. Linedudes® replacement lines are available in black to match your
existing, original linedudes® lines.

4. Can I use linedudes® for permanent mooring?

Yes, linedudes® meet and exceed ABYC standards for permanent mooring. When
installed according to instructions, your linedudes® are a safe and reliable method
of mooring your vessel.

5. How do linedudes® lock the line into position?

Our Patented series of retractable docking lines all lock automatically. Once you
have pulled out the desired length of line, you simply release the locking button,
and the locking plate will engage for permanent mooring. You have the ability to
lock the line in ½” to 1” increments depending on the model. With linedudes® you
never have to worry about extra steps for securing your vessel.

Simple, safe and secure!

6. How many linedudes® should I install on my boat?

Simply put, you should have the same number of linedudes® as you currently have
docking lines to secure your boat. For those that frequently use spring lines in their
mooring, you should purchase the upgrade - linedudes® spring line kit (includes (2)
units), in addition to the standard boat kit that includes® (4) units. This way you will
have the ultimate in convenience and safety when mooring your boat and never to
have to deal with tripping over those wet docking lines again.

7. What is involved in the installation?

Installing linedudes® is very similar to installing a pop-up cleat on your boat. Our step-
-by-step installation guide and interactive DVD will lead you through a trouble free install.
For those purchasing from an authorized linedudes® installing dealer, you may choose
the convenience of a professional install at the dealer.

8. What are linedudes® made of?

Linedudes® are constructed entirely from marine grade 316L and 304 Stainless Steel.
Every model of linedudes® is suitable for fresh or salt water use. All critical components
are “oversized” for complete mooring confidence. As with any product exposed to
the harsh marine environment, regular rinsing and cleaning will help insure that
your linedudes® remain looking great for many years to come.

9. What happens to any moisture that is on the lines
when they retract inside the unit?

All C & P series linedudes® have a drain nipple at the bottom of the shroud that
surrounds the unit. When installing linedudes®, you will want to attach a piece of
¼” plastic tubing to the drain nipple and either lead that tube to your bilge or
overboard, ensuring that any moisture will be drained overboard.

10. How long should it take to install each unit?

Installation time averages 1/2 - 1 hours per unit. This time will increase
or decrease based on the accessibility and hull thickness.

11. How does hull thickness affect the installation?

Linedudes® are designed to be installed on boats with a hull thickness ranging from
0.75” – 1.25” thickness. For all boats fitting this thickness range, no customization
is needed. For boats with less than the minimum of 0.75” thickness, a backing plate
from marine plywood or “starboard” is all that is required to bring the hull up to
the appropriate thickness.
