As a boat rides on wind, waves, and tidal movement, a mooring line under constant load transmits repeated shock loading into cleats, bollards, and other deck hardware; the snubber's elastic rubber body stretches and recoils to soften that loading before it reaches the fitting. It is sized for 3\/8 inch line and is intended for use in tidal areas, on exposed moorings, and in towing situations where a line needs to absorb sudden strain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe amount of compensating movement is adjustable: the number of turns the line takes around the snubber body changes how much stretch is available, letting the same snubber be tuned for different wind and wave conditions. It requires no additional hardware to install, so it can be rigged directly onto an existing mooring or dock line. The snubber is constructed of high quality rubber engineered to resist sunlight, saltwater, and ozone exposure, making it suited to long-term outdoor use at the dock or mooring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sea-Dog\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 561512\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mooring Snubber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rubber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength (A):\u003c\/strong\u003e 17-1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLine Size (B):\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard Pack:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 035514561013\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUniversal fit for 3\/8 inch diameter mooring or dock lines; not specific to a boat make or model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat line size does the Sea-Dog 561512 mooring snubber fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sea-Dog 561512 snubber is sized for 3\/8 inch diameter line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is this mooring snubber?\u003c\/strong\u003e It measures 17-1\/8 inches in length, the dimension listed as A on the Sea-Dog 561512 snubber.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Sea-Dog mooring snubber made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made of high quality rubber that resists sunlight, saltwater, and ozone, which is what lets the 561512 snubber hold up to long-term outdoor mooring use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 561512 snubber weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sea-Dog 561512 mooring snubber weighs 0.63 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes installing this snubber require any extra hardware?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The Sea-Dog 561512 mooring snubber is designed to be rigged directly onto the line with no additional hardware needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does a mooring snubber actually protect deck fittings?\u003c\/strong\u003e A mooring snubber absorbs shock loads from wind, waves, and tidal surge and relieves the resulting tension before it reaches cleats or other deck fittings, which reduces sudden jerking loads on the line and hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the amount of shock absorption be adjusted?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the compensating movement of the Sea-Dog 561512 snubber can be adjusted by changing the number of times the line is turned around the snubber body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this snubber suited for towing or just mooring?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 561512 snubber is intended for use in tidal areas, on exposed moorings, and in towing situations where a line needs to absorb shock loading.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the Sea-Dog 561512 snubber?\u003c\/strong\u003e This mooring snubber is black.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sea-Dog 561512 a universal fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, it is a universal fit for 3\/8 inch line rather than being specific to a particular boat make or model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat comes in the package with this snubber?\u003c\/strong\u003e The package includes one Sea-Dog 561512 rubber mooring snubber, sold in a standard pack of 1 each.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre larger sizes of this snubber available for thicker line?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 561512 is the 3\/8 inch, 17-1\/8 inch version; Sea-Dog offers this snubber design in other sizes for larger line diameters as separate part numbers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sea-Dog","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988826730715,"sku":"S-D-561512","price":19.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/6864_ab844772-e0c2-4a98-8653-9b5acc47fb3e.jpg?v=1784429812","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sea-dog-561512-rubber-mooring-snubber-17-1-8-in-x-3-8-in-epdm-line-shock-absorber-black-universal-fit","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
