Wahlah. The finished product is ready for final assembly. I usually place one of these hangers on the upper life line at each stanchion; three in our case. I made an extra set in the event one happens to drop into the drink, which of course has never happened.
These hot dipped galvanized S hooks will last forever, they cost nothing and require but a small amount of labor and some basic tools to complete the finished product.
In conclusion, I welcome donations or libations for an idea that hopefully will save you a buck or two, make life a bit simpler and keep that cord off the deck where it can collect gunk. Ive used these hooks for years and they work great.
