Every boat owner knows that shock and chafe can quickly destroy almost any part of a boat, often creating dangerous situations at the worst possible moment. The sudden loading of rigging and hardware on a boat can often spell disaster. Over time bolts, cleats, shackles, lines, blocks, chain and pulleys can weaken and break due to continuous shock loading while in use.
