Mooring whips work best when their bent, not straight out. Now if
you've got tides to deal with, and the whips are mounted on your
bulkhead, the whips do very little, or nothing, at high tide, and are
worthless during a storm surge. If you mount them to a float they
should be OK for a light boat, but then you may have a problem with
sticking out too far.
Myself, I think their worthless, I would never use them. I've seen
many a boat on whips get beaten up in bad weather. On my cannal their
popular, with people new to boating, most of the guy's that have had
them before got rid of them long ago. And then their's the problem of
getting off and on the boat.
