OK, moving right along with this thread. As I stated earlier, I use a soft shackle.
I tried the soft shackle and a spring hook but the spring hook on the soft shackle hung down under the rub rail and scratched the topsides paint. The soft shackle isn't as easy as snapping a spring hook. So, a bit of internet searching found these: https://www.amazon.com/Hook-Clips-Rubber-Stainless-Carabiner/dp/B07SBL1LKS https://hookitclips.com/collections/hook-it-clips I emailed them to see when red ones would be available. -- Dennis C.
