Airhead Safety Float 5 Inch x 3 Inch Yellow Marker Buoy for Ski Ropes and Anchor Lines

The Airhead Safety Float (F-5Y) is a durable, ultrasonically welded plastic float built for everyday marine and pool use. Measuring 5 inches long by 3 inches in diameter with a 1/2-inch hole through the center, this float slides easily onto ski ropes, anchor lines, and mooring lines to keep them visible and afloat. It is a popular choice for marking anchor lines and crab traps, keeping ski ropes from sinking, and adding buoyancy to pool lines and toys.

Built from tough plastic with an ultrasonically welded seam rather than a glued or molded seam that can fail over time, this float is designed to hold up to repeated use in fresh and salt water. It is finished in high-visibility yellow, making it easy to spot on the water whether it is marking the end of a ski rope or floating above a submerged crab trap. The simple, economical design keeps the cost low without sacrificing durability, making it practical to keep several on hand for anchor lines, buoy lines, and dock lines around the boat.
