Starboard boat hook stowed the same way as the sport side. This hook gets the most use and the port side kept more as a spare in the event something happens to the starboard side hook, which has been known to happen.
Only use Garelick brand hooks here. They guarantee their tips for life. Ive broken two so far over the years and they replaced the tips free of charge; easy to replace. Have yet to lose one as they float. Been known to go back and retrieve them from time to time. At 35,000 pounds, no way I can use the hook to stop the boat when grabbing a mooring while the wind is up.
