AIRHEAD KWIK-TEK Bungee Tube Rope Extension

Instead of beaching your boat, this bungee works well. Used at the stern of my boat and a shore spike at the bow. My anchor is a 15lbs fluke with a slide ring. I highly recommend to use your regular anchor rope along side the anchor bungee. For this reason, easy to set and retrieve your anchor. DO NOT USE THE BUNGEE FOR EITHER OR... Drop anchor with both bungee and rope attached. Wait till your anchor hits ground then pull a little bit of slack off the rope. Not too much. Tie off the rope and bungee to the front bow cleat. Slowly drive your boat in reverse towards the shore you'll be hanging out. You should've been about 20-30ft away from shore. Once your anchor sets, drive forward just enough to loosen tension off the anchor rope. Untie the rope from your boat and tie a buoy to the rope. Toss it over board. If possible move the bungee from the bow to stern. Drive towards shore. Set your shore spike and unload your gear and passengers. Once your done loosen your docking rope from the spike and watch your boat float safely away from shore. Tie off the dock rope on to the spike and TADA!!! To retrieve, pull the dock rope, load what you want, and untie from the spike. The bungee will pull you back into deeper water towards your buoy. Disconnect the bungee from your boat and tie it off to the buoy for easy retrieval when you return. You have an idea by now how this works. Its great and easy to use. At least for me. Common sense is all it take to use this bungee. Like I mentioned.... DO NOT USE THIS BUNGEE TO SET OR RETRIEVE YOUR ANCHOR! This is why I recommend to use an anchor rope along side. This bungee will break and your out of an anchor. Happy Boating!!!

Was very happy to get this bungee anchor line. We use this to "Spring" our wake boat off the shore. We have used it in Beach and rocky situations. This works great with a static stern line to the beach. You simply yank on that stern line and bungee the boat in for loading or whatever...let go and the boat goes back out away from the beach. You can see in the photo that the bungee holds the stern line out of the water under steady tension. This takes a bit of figuring out first go around and honestly, I think this would be better at 75' but 50' works in shoreline uses like shown. It wouldn't take much to extend the Anchor end by 25' with static rope. This would also allow the anchor to lay down and give a better angle for it to bite the bottom. The issue with this bungee is it doesn't easily allow for adequate scope in many situations over 25' depth. But it does work when it works --- which is in depths of less than 25' in my experience or as a rigging aid to spring a boat off like I typically like to do.

Used it at Lake Powell this past weekend, and the Anchor Bungee saved our hull from serious damage! As you approach the beach (which in Lake Powell is often pure sandstone that will seriously damage your boat!) you toss the anchor off the back about 50 feet from shore. Once tossed, just put the drive in neutral, and the bungee eventually slows, stops, then begins to gently pull the boat back toward the water. If you time it right (which is easy because the bungie has a broad range of stretch) you hop out with a bow line as the front of the boat approaches the shore, and just have someone hold it until you can either tie to an existing hard point, or prepare your beach spike. Either way, you space it so the bungie holds the boat (floating) about 10 feet off the beach, and when you need to get in just pull the bow line toward you and the bungie gives enough to let you pull the boat closer while you climb in. It works perfectly. I'd highly recommend for anyone who boats where the shoreline is rocky, or simply doesn't want to damage the bow of their boat by letting it grind on the sandy beach.

Works like it is suppose to, the only problem I've had with it is the nylon cover over the bungee tore a little bit but does not affect the rope and its purpose

Bought this for a week long lake trip because where we go, the anchor is always difficult to set. It worked great! The bungee action kept the anchor from pulling out even when the water was rough. Boat is a 22 footTahoe. Also, it allows you to pull the boat to shore to board it without releasing the anchor line (because of the bungee). Solved the sinking problem which some mentioned by disconnecting the hook, slipping on a float, & reconnecting the hook. Floats fine now. Good purchase!

A really great product. Awesome for shore anchoring. Works great with out 28’ boat. The only “negative” is that I wish it was about half the length. If you’re using it with a sand spike on a sandbar, with a lot of other boats, it’s a bit too long. That aside, this bungee with a sand shark auger has gotten been awesome!

Works awesome to keep my Mastercraft inboard prop and drive shaft off the bottom when we want to visit the beach. Drop an anchor connected to this line and the bow, back towards shore, hop off and connect a line to the stern, and let go of the boat. The boat automagically heads out to deeper water. but can easily be pulled back shallow from the stern line for easy boarding prior to departure.

This is the second one I’ve purchased over the years. excellent for keeping your anchor in place. Sufficient, high quality, and great length

Super

This bungee is awesome! Saw a friend use one and had to add it to my anchor setup. Even when I couldn't use it to pull my boat ashore due to the shallowness of the bay, it provided me with much more confidence in my anchor setting because it does not jerk on the anchor line at all. The bungee takes all the action out of the rope and did an amazing job. I will always have one of these on my primary anchor from now on. The only modification I made was to add heavier shackles which I am sure was overkill for my boat but makes me sleep better.

Findly used the line on a mooring buoy. It worked great.

I frigging love this thing. We used it all summer camping. It keeps my boat safe off the rocks 40 feet off shore and i can just pull it in when we want to board.

Works well
