An apparatus for securing watercraft against tidal action, wind and weather has an elongate vertical shaft having a top end and a bottom end and a slide block slidably attached to the elongate vertical shaft. The slide block slides between the top end and the bottom end and has a pair of slots therein and an opening positioned between the slots. The slots and opening are configured to allow a mooring line to be secured to the slide block. A top mounting bracket and bottom mounting bracket are attached to the top end and bottom end, respectively, of the elongate vertical shaft. The top and bottom mounting brackets are configured for attachment to mooring structures. The top mounting bracket includes an integral mooring line hook. A compression spring is mounted on the elongate vertical shaft and seated upon the bottom mounting bracket and absorbs the impact of the slide block.
