🔍 Key Concepts

• Mooring fittings used on lock walls versus on a vessel’s deck • Shape and purpose of a button fitting (smooth, rounded, meant for easy slipping of lines) • Difference between a cleat, bollard/bitt, chock, and button in common deck gear terminology

💭 Think About

• Look closely at which fitting would allow a lock line to slide up and down easily as the water level changes without snagging. • Ask yourself which fitting has no sharp horns or corners that could catch a line under heavy strain. • Match each lettered fitting with its usual name (cleat, bollard/bitt, chock, button) and eliminate the ones you know are used mainly on a vessel’s deck.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which illustration shows a low, rounded post with a smooth top and sides for a line to slip around. • Eliminate any fittings that look like a horn cleat or a closed chock, since those are typically on the vessel, not built into lock walls. • Confirm that the fitting you choose could safely let a single turn of line ride up or down along the wall without fouling.
