Lake Worth, Fl. (June 1, 2021) – You already trust Tigress to put more fish in the box, but now they have you covered while at berth too. Their Portable Cleats and Shore Power Cord Holder are welcome accessories at home, at the sandbar or visiting a new port.
Tigress’ shore solutions are built with the same high-quality construction and attention to detail as their world-class outriggers and tourney-winning fishing equipment, so you know they’ll stand up to life on the sea.
Few things ruin gel coat like dock rash and line chafing can. Keep your vessel protected by using one of Tigress’ Portable Cleats, available in both 15- and 36-inch heights to accommodate with gunnel. The innovative design makes use of empty rod holders to place fenders exactly where they’re needed to keep your hull from contacting the dock or other vessels when you’re rafted up at the sandbar. Easily tie up to a friend’s boat for lunch or add extra lines when a storm approaches. The 36-inch size is ideal for transom cross ties, keeping lines from chafing your boat while adding an extra layer of security. Whatever length you choose, the full-sized 9-inch cleat positioned at a 10-degree angle is ideal for nearly any function, even serving as a hose holder to prevent tangles.
Keeping your shore power cord free from damage doesn’t just mean you won’t have to replace it; it is a safety concern. Ensure the cord’s outer jacket continues to keep moisture out by protecting it from chafing. Tigress’ Shore Power Cord Holder installs in a rod holder and keeps power lines safely above the gunnel and free of obstacles that can cause damage, whether you’re in your home port or at a temporary berth on an extended cruise. A 15-degree bent butt accommodates the angles found in most rod holders, keeping the pole vertical and the cord moving freely. An open-top makes inserting long cords easy, with an overlap to keep them in place even when conditions turn rough. And during clean-up, you can use the Shore Power Cord Holder to wrangle a hose.
Both the Portable Cleats and Shore Power Cord Holder fit in standard 1-5/8” rod holders, so they’re perfect for any vessel. Like all of Tigress’ products, they are built to stand up to a harsh saltwater environment so they’ll look and perform flawlessly for a lifetime.
