Easier tying off at marina?

Is there anything I can do to make tying up the boat at the marina faster? I'm envisioning attaching carabiners to my ropes, but since two of them tie onto my fence, I think that's probably not a good idea. I keep thinking there has to be a product out there for this.

Does your boat have cleats? If not maybe think about adding them.
My boat only came with front cleats which made tying up a little annoying, I added two cleats to the rear. Now tying up takes less than a minute.

It does not have any cleats. I already have them (ordered a while ago) but have not installed them.

Do you have eyes on the front of each toon and a unbolt in the back that you can use?
