Deine Fragen / Unsere Antworte

What length boat hook do I need?
As a rule of thumb, the hook should be at least as long as your boat's freeboard plus about one meter of reach. For larger motorboats with high freeboards, extendable models are useful so you can comfortably reach the pier or lock wall from the cockpit.
Can I use an aluminum boat hook in saltwater?
Yes, aluminum can be used in saltwater, but it is not permanently impervious. Rinse the hook with fresh water after each use and dry it before storing it. An aluminum hook will then last for many seasons.
What is the difference between a boat hook with a pusher head and a normal hook head?
A pusher head has a flat or padded nose on the back, which allows you to push the boat away from the wall without having to change your grip. This is particularly practical in locks, where you have to alternately pull and push. A pure hook, on the other hand, is simpler and more robust if you mainly want to catch lines.
How do I securely attach the hook head to the shaft so that it doesn't come loose?
Most hook heads are secured with a screw or a clamping ring. Before the season, check whether the fit is still tight – with metal heads, corrosion can loosen the connection. If in doubt, use a small drop of threadlocker that can be removed again.
