Quick Tips for a Safe Dock

Boat Dock Bumpers
Have you ever had a dock mishap?

If you own a boat, you know better than anyone how unpredictable the water and weather can be. Thankfully, there are plenty of things you can do to ensure the safety and security of your boat dock. 

Go slow when docking. It’s easier to control your boat when going slow. Sharp turns are easier with less water flowing past the rudders. Cruising up to your dock gives you less control, making you more likely to hit it. Hitting your dock with your boat can cause damage to both, and the damage gets worse the faster you go.

Use boat dock bumpers. Boat dock bumpers protect the posts and edges of your dock, so if you do happen to hit it, there will be less damage. Bumpers absorb shock, which protects your dock and boat. Shock absorption also helps protect your passengers.
