Docking/wet slip/ mooring

[Steen1717]

for the past 2 seasons we have had a single covered slip, this year we waited to long and now have a double non covered slip. My concern is the boat banging against the dock or the other boat being that we leave it during the week. Im not allowed to have whips or anything similar. How do you guys keep the boat off the dock and bumpers? I just hate the idea of the boat rubbing those bumpers for 5-6 days till we get back or longer depending on weather.

Not sure if you could use something like this?

I've used them since I got my boat in 2014 and they work great.

I saw these at the Minneapolis boat show. They looked durable and easy to use. Looks like they would offer great protection.

I wet slip for the season...3 round fenders...spaced about 5 feet apart with horizontally standard fenders dock mounted between them...i like the round ones as they keep the boat a little further from the dock and have minimal contact area with the boat itself.

I have a 28' Covered slip and keep my boat wet all summer as well. There are usually minimal waves and water disruption around marinas and boat slips (covered or non-covered) that will cause the boat to beat and bang against the dock, unless you are close to high traffic areas. I still use 3 of the 18" round buoys you see the larger cruiser boats use to keep it away from the dock rails. The round buoys are larger in circumference than the traditional tube shape buoys and hold the boat further away from the rails. I tie the boat off to the dock in an X formation with the round buoys and it doesn't budge! No worries!

All set for wetslipping the Yamaha this summer. But I really like these for the other slip we will be keeping the 91' Beneteau 35s5 we are closing the deal on later next week.

I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who is using these. They seem to offer great protection.
