Who Invented the DOC-LOC ?
DOC-LOC was invented by a tournament fisherman with years of boating experience on many US lakes. He found that with the numbers of boats increasing and concentration of boats at marinas there was no place to moor while visiting a marina. He also found that the uses of standard mooring ropes were very unhandy and bulky often becoming tangled in tackle or other recreational equipment. After two years of research and patenting the DOC-LOC became standard equipment on many of his tournament fishing competitor’s boats. In 1996 DOC-LOC was introduced into the marine industry market at the Missouri Marine Dealers Show in Springfield MO Bass Pro Shop. The response was overwhelming and this promoted the inventor to open the DOC-LOC factory in the small Ozark community of Licking MO. Since opening the factory in Licking MO they have had request from distributors in South Africa and Australia.

How Does The DOC-LOC Work?

To use the DOC-LOC you simply push the T-bar between the dock boards turn the handle one half turn and release. This clamps the DOC-LOC to the dock without damage to the dock. To release simply push down on the handle turn one half turn and the DOC-LOC pops free. You then simply drop it into a storage bin for use at your next mooring station. If you find there is no slots in a dock that you can insert the DOC-LOC then a special mooring loop has been placed in the rope that will snap between the locking plate and T-bar allowing you too secure to poles, limbs, or sub bracing on docks. It can also be used to secure two boats together. Practicality any mooring application can be achieved with the DOC- LOC.
