Dock whips
I fullt agree with both LIforrelaxin and DRH with respect to making sure you have the correctly sized whips, but, please don't get "seduced" by whips and think they are all you need to safely tie up your boat.
I used whips while living on the Lake, but I also had a bow line, with in-line rubber snubber, leading to a forwartd tri-pile, to provide additional safety, and both stern and bow lines from boat to dock, and bumpers. Overkill ? - not when you are protecting your investment in a boat and in a dock.
