A marine dock hitch which is designed to facilitate the quick and
convenient attachment of a boat to a dock, facilitates locking of the boat
to the dock to prevent theft of the boat, and provides a resilient
connection between the boat and the dock to accommodate considerable
elevation changes in the tide and wave action of a water body while the
boat is attached to the dock. The marine dock hitch includes an elongated
hitch bar having a hitch coupling provided on each end. One of the hitch
couplings is removably attached to a hitch catch provided on the dock, and
the other of the hitch couplings is removably attached to a hitch catch
provided on the boat.
