    Our 480VAC/100 shore power cord has to be pulled 50’ forward from the Cabkemaster at the stern, on the dock to the pedestal. It was a pita and always ended up leaving scuff marks on the transom.

    so... I came up with this...

    A few solid plastic balls drilled and strung on a thin line with a clip. The whole thing hangs from the piling off the stern. No more scuffing the transom and the cord can’t fall in the water.

    Great idea, thanks for sharing it.
    I might even copy it in fact, if you didn't patent it! :)

    They use larger versions for pulling large pipe when directional boring. Great solution pascal.
