What is the Davis Chafe Guard used for?

It protects dock, mooring, and anchor lines from wearing through at points where the line rubs against a cleat, cap rail, anchor roller, or another line. The guard slides over the rope and takes the abrasion instead of the line itself.

What size line does the Chafe Guard fit?

It fits braided or twisted line from 3/8 inch up to 1 inch in diameter (10 to 25 mm), which covers most dock and anchor lines used on recreational boats. This range is the same across both color options.

How do I pick between the Black and White versions?

Both colors are functionally identical in material, length, and line-size compatibility. Choose Black or White based on which better matches your dock lines, fenders, or hull color.

How many chafe guards come in a package?

Each package is sold by the pair, so you get two Chafe Guards, enough to cover both typical wear points on a single dock line.

How long is each Chafe Guard?

Each guard measures 16 inches long (40 cm).

How does the Chafe Guard attach to the line, and can it be removed?

It is a removable guard: the inside is lined with 100% hook and loop fasteners that grip the rope directly, so no separate ties or lashings are needed. It can be pulled off and repositioned as the line stretches or as protection needs change.

Will the Chafe Guard fade or degrade in the sun?

The outer shell is UV-stabilized nylon webbing, designed to resist sun and saltwater exposure for long-term outdoor marine use.

Can I use one guard on a thinner line and one on a thicker line?

Yes, since each guard individually accommodates the full 3/8 inch to 1 inch range, you can use the pair across two different lines of varying diameter within that range.

Davis Chafe Guard - Dock Line Protector, Pair

Davis Instruments Removable Dock Line Chafe Guard - Fits 3/8" to 1" Line, Sold as Pair - Available in Black or White

$28.30

The Davis Instruments Removable Chafe Guard protects dock, mooring, and anchor lines at the points where they rub against a cleat, cap rail, anchor roller, or another line. Rather than letting the rope itself take the abrasion, the guard slides over the line and absorbs the wear, extending the life of your dock lines and reducing the risk of a chafed-through line letting go in a storm or surge. The UV-stabilized nylon webbing shell stands up to sun and salt, while the 100% hook and loop interior lining lets you install or remove the guard by hand, without cutting the line or tying off separate lashings. Each order is sold as a pair, giving you enough guards to cover both wear points on a single dock or anchor line, and the design fits braided or twisted line from 3/8 inch up to 1 inch in diameter, which covers the vast majority of lines used on recreational boats.

This chafe guard is offered in two colors, Black and White, so you can match it to your existing dock lines or boat fenders. Both colors share identical dimensions, materials, and line-size compatibility (3/8 in to 1 in), so the choice comes down to appearance rather than performance. Since the guard is removable and adjustable along the line, one pair fits the full 3/8 in to 1 in range without needing a separate size for each rope diameter.
