Bow line chafage
I was looking threw a catalog and found a polyester "chafe guard" for docking/mooring lines. http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs...roductId=48377

Would this help with the tubes? or make it worse? and any easier ways?
THanks

A piece of pipe lagging does it for me.

Ropes are cheap. Toobs are not.
