Adjusting a mooring line can be a never-ending hassle for boaters. To guarantee that the line goes with the flow of tidal changes, stormy weather and boat traffic, Dr. Shrink offers its mooring line control  system, TideMinders. Using nine durable balls threaded onto a line secured by two figure-eight knots, TideMinders rolls up  and down any size piling, protecting lines from chafing and fouling. TideMinders provides continuous tension with built-in shock absorption. Retail prices start at $49.50. (800) 968-5147, www.dr-shrink.com.
