Default Airhead bungee lines

Can't quote from long term but in the few time times used, seems to work well for my Wellcraft V20. When docked bow first, the natural rhythm of the wave action constantly strains the bowline putting jarring pressure on the line, cleat and chalk. The four foot length seems to work well with a relaxed stretch and return with each motion. It's not a heavy duty solution you want to leave unattended for extended periods because like any bungee it can wear and possibly snap. I use a regular 1/2 inch dock line for the stern for overnight and also a 1/2 inch spring loosely on the center cleat for back up.
