Hello! A bit of controversy here regarding whether to cleat the buoy pennant to my Monty 15 or to go with a marine carabiner to the trailer eye. I chose option #1 this summer, and the then-brand new stout dock line sold to me by West Marine has abraded so much that I've had to replace it. OK to go with shackling at the eye, as opposed to cleating? Thanks in advance for sending on your experience and mooring wisdom! Steve on Whidbey Monty 15 #163 Steve Pearse sspearse@whidbey.com
