Abstract: A device for aiding a person on a boat to dock the boat is disclosed. The device includes an elongated, flexible rod with a vertical section, a curved section extending from the vertical section, and a horizontal section which extends from the curved section. The horizontal section extends over the edge of the dock and has a spherical end. The rod also has a base member which mounts the rod to a dock and from which member the vertical section extends. The horizontal section or the end thereof may be grasped by a person on a boat when the boat is approaching the dock in order to facilitate maneuvering and eventually docking the boat.
