This is the same shock absorber thats used on the quadrant below the wheel.

Hi All, 

I've been meaning to pass this along for a while... 

After having less-than-good luck with the snubbers from West Marine, I 
decided to try the Bungy mooring compensators from Sail Care.  I really 
like these quite a bit. 

They are extremely easy to install.  In fact, you don't even have to 
untie your dock lines.  You just make bend in the line, push it through 
the body of the thing, flip the buckle closed, and pull the line tight.   
I currently have three units on my bow lines, since the prevailing winds 
are from that direction, and two units on my stern lines.  We stayed out 
on the boat in our slip the past weekend with 20 knot breezes and slept 
quite comfortably.

For what it is worth...
