We have been using whips now on our dock for about 5 years, but in the last few years we've noticed that we only get a season or so out of our whip ropes. Part of this is due to being in a busy area, but it seems like they should last longer than this. We are using them properly and don't have any snag points in the rope movement. I think it is just the amount of cycling that the rope is going through that is creating the chafing. Looking for recommendations on what others are using for abrasion resistant rope for whips. Thanks.
