Want to avoid dangerous acrobatic feats as you struggle to re-attach your winch hook to your boat? This maneuver can be tricky, which is why there's Captain Hook ($29.95), a winch-hook attaching device that fits all standard winch hooks and most aftermarket hooks. It's made of ABS plastic so it'll never scuff or scratch your boat, and it comes with a telescoping aluminum pole with a non-slip grip.
