How to Make a Boat Rig Hook
- 1). Measure out the average distance you reach to grip the dock or mooring poles when bringing the boat in to dock. Ballpark the figure, as you do not always get it "just right" with each landing. Select a tool handle in a length as close to your ballpark figure. If you need a shorter handle, use the saw to cut it down to your desired length (on the non-threaded side.)
- 2). Sand down the end if your handle is cut down to size. Wrap cork tape around the end of the handle and up the shank four feet.
- 3). Spread the super epoxy over the threads at the top of the handle and on the inside of the hook thread cuff.
- 4). Twist the hook onto the threads on the top of the handle. Twist until the hook is tight and secure on the handle. Wipe off any excess glue drips, then let the glue dry.
