A mooring line storage device and system for watercraft having a housing defining an inner cavity. The housing has at least one access aperture and a cover in overlying relationship with the aperture. Cover and housing cooperatively interact to prevent extension of a discrete region of a mooring line from the inner cavity. The device may also include at least one hanger to suspend the housing from a structural member of the watercraft.

What is claimed is: 1. A mooring line storage device for a watercraft, the storage device comprising: a housing, the housing having a body defining an inner cavity, the cavity adapted to removably contain at least a portion of a mooring line, the mooring line having one end extending from the inner cavity into releasable engagement with at least one cleat located on a watercraft, the body having at least one access aperture located therein; a cover overlying the access aperture, the cover including a flap movable between an open position and a closed position, a mooring line engaging region connected to the flap and at least one fastener, the fastener releasably engageable with the outer body of the housing, wherein the access aperture includes at least one detent defined therein, the detent configured to releasably engage a portion of the mooring line; at least one hanger member connected to the body, the hanger member configured to engage at least one structural member of the watercraft. 2. The mooring line storage device of claim 1 further comprising at least one engagement grip projecting outward from the detent into releasable engagement with the mooring line. 3. A storage device comprising: a housing, the housing having a body defining an inner cavity, the cavity adapted to releasably contain at least a portion of a mooring line, the body having at least one access aperture located therein, wherein the access aperture is configured with at least one detent adapted to releasably engage a mooring line, the housing including an outer layer and an inner layer; a cover overlying the access aperture; at least one hanger member connected to the body. 4. The storage device of claim 3 wherein the cover is movable between an open and a closed position and wherein the cover and access aperture are configured in a manner that maintains the mooring line in fixed relation with the housing and cover when the cover is in a closed position. 5. The storage device of claim 3 wherein the hanger comprises a base attached to the housing and projecting outward therefrom and at least one clasp adjustably connected to the base, the projection and the clasp defining a second aperture configured to contain a structural member of a watercraft therein. 6. The storage device of claim 5 wherein the structural member of the watercraft is a deck rail. 7. The storage device of claim 3 wherein the housing further comprises at least one buoyancy insert, the buoyancy insert positioned in auxiliary compartments defined in the housing. 8. The storage device of claim 3 further comprising at least one vent member positioned on the housing. 9. The storage device of claim 3 further comprising a mooring line retraction device located in the inner cavity of the housing. 10. The storage device of claim 9 wherein the mooring line retraction device is a snap ring fastener affixed to an inner surface of the inner cavity and releasably engaging the mooring line positioned therein. 11. The storage device of claim 3 wherein the access aperture is contented with a plurality of detents positioned on a lower edge of the aperture, the detents configured to releasably engage an elongated portion of the mooring line. 12. The storage device of claim 3 wherein the cover is attached to the body and is movable between an open position and a closed position, the cover comprising a mooring line engaging member and at least one fastener, the fastener releasably engageable with an outer body of the housing. 13. The storage device of claim 9 wherein the access aperture is configured with a plurality of detents positioned on a lower edge of the aperture, the detents configured to releasably engage an elongated portion of the mooring line. 14. A mooring line storage system for a watercraft, the system comprising a plurality of mooring line storage devices removably positioned on structural members of the watercraft proximate to mooring line anchoring devices, the mooring line storage devices each comprising: a housing, the housing having a body defining an inner cavity, the cavity adapted to releasably contain at least a portion of a mooring line, the body having at least one access aperture located therein and at least one detent defined in the aperture; a cover overlying the access aperture, the cover including a flap movable between an open position and a closed position, a mooring line engaging region connected to the flap and at least one fastener, the fastener releasably engageable with the outer body of the housing; at least one hanger member connected to the body, the hanger member adapted to engage the structural member of the watercraft; and at least one mooring line removably contained in the inner cavity, the mooring line having one end extending outward therefrom into engagement with that associated mooring line attachment device located on the watercraft. 15. The storage device of claim 3 wherein the at least one detent further comprises a reinforced region and at least one engaging grip connected to and projecting outward from the reinforced region to releasably engage the mooring line. 16. The storage device of claim 3 wherein the mooring line is removably contained in the inner cavity, the mooring line having one end extending outward therefrom into engagement with at least one cleat located on a watercraft.
