[QUOTE="Mike Clay, post: 502155, member: 34175"] I‘m sure that you can tell I’m new to this. I googled bow line but I don’t see any standard way that folks attach the bow line to the boat. Some use a snap hook, some use a zig zag cleat, some do a granny knot. I bought one of these lines for my 14’ v hull aluminum boat. I put the braided eye through the eye on my bow then put the running end through the braided eye and cinched it up. Then I tied a bowline in the running end. Now my winch hook barely fits on the eye. My thought is that I can use that bowline on a dock cleat if I ever fish near a dock. Or snub it off on a tree. Am I doing anything wrong? [/QUOTE]
