3/16" (5mm) Black Polyester Shock Cord

Shock cord or bungee cord has almost unlimited uses aboard a sailboat or power boat. It’s great for securing stowed gear and equipment, preventing stowed hatch boards from rattling, holding lockers or doors open, running rigging systems, hiking straps and much more. New England Ropes shock cord features a stranded rubber core with a highly abrasion resistant polyester cover and is available in a range of sizes and colors. Pick up some hooks, hog rings and other accessories to create custom tie downs, retracting systems, etc. Your imagination will be the only limiting factor. Shock cord works best when pre-stretched between 30%—80% of its length; the more pre-stretch built into your system the greater the pull the shock cord will have.  Key Features Strong elastic cord Stranded rubber core for excellent elasticity Highly abrasion resistant cover Available in a range of sizes and colors Sold by the foot Call for spool pricing Specifications: Core: Rubber Cover: Polyester
