Davis Instruments Shockles LineSnubber Dock Line Shock Absorber - 20 Inch, Black or Blue
The Davis Instruments Shockles LineSnubber is an in-line shock absorber that rigs onto a dock line or anchor line to soak up surge, wave action, and wind gusts before that shock energy reaches your cleats, chocks, and hull fittings. Instead of a rigid line snatching hard against every wave, the LineSnubber's elastomer core stretches smoothly, then a patented internal nylon webbing limiter engages to safely arrest further stretch, so your boat rides gently at the dock or on a mooring without the jerking, chafe, and noise of an unprotected line. Two 316 stainless steel carabiners make it quick to rig between an existing dock line and a cleat or piling, with no splicing or hardware changes required.

Sizes & Options
The LineSnubber is offered in a single 20 inch relaxed length that fits line from 3/8 inch to 3/4 inch in diameter, so sizing is simple; the choice comes down to color. Pick Black for a low-profile, understated look at the dock, or Blue if you prefer a color-coded line system or want the snubber to stand out for quick visual checks. Both colors share identical stretch performance, limiter strength, and hardware.
