🔍 Key Concepts

• Chafing gear and its purpose on mooring lines • How friction at chocks, bitts, or fairleads damages line fibers • Difference between protecting a line from wear vs. preserving it from weather or increasing its grip

💭 Think About

• Which option specifically reduces abrasion where the line rubs against metal fittings like a chock? • Which treatments are used mainly for long‑term preservation of the line (weather, rot) rather than for point-contact friction? • Think about common practice on working vessels: what do crews typically put around a line at a chafe point?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice directly addresses abrasion from rubbing at a localized point • Eliminate any options that mainly deal with sealing the line or waterproofing instead of reducing friction • Confirm which method is actually called gear that is added ONTO a line, not something done TO the line itself
