Ike... on a similar size boat we use two docking lines of 3 strand nylon and attach the loops to a large anchor shackle which we then put throuh the eye in the chain hook using the shackle pin. This eliminates most of the chafe since you can get nice, smooth anchor shackles and the pin (wired closed) allows the hook to rotate on it. Has been an ideal solution for us as it balances out the load to 2 cleats and we have redundancy if a line should part.
