It works by stretching under load and compressing back, converting sudden line snatch into gradual, absorbed movement rather than a hard jerk on your mooring hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe snubber measures 19-3\/4 inches long and is sized for line in the 1\/2 inch to 9\/16 inch range. The amount of compensating movement is adjustable simply by changing the number of turns the line takes around the snubber body, so you can tune the amount of give to match tidal swing, exposed mooring conditions, or towing loads. No additional hardware is required to install or use it, making it a straightforward add to any dock line setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstructed of high quality rubber, the snubber is built to resist sunlight, saltwater, and ozone exposure, which are the primary causes of degradation in mooring accessories left rigged outdoors. It is well suited to tidal areas, exposed moorings, and towing situations where dock lines see frequent, repeated strain.\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 561516\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\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19-3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLine Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/2 inch - 9\/16 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.14 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 035514561020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat line size does the Sea-Dog 561516 mooring snubber fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sea-Dog 561516 mooring snubber is sized for dock line in the 1\/2 inch to 9\/16 inch range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is this mooring snubber?\u003c\/strong\u003e It measures 19-3\/4 inches long.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the mooring snubber made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is constructed of rubber that is built to resist sunlight, saltwater, and ozone exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does a mooring snubber work?\u003c\/strong\u003e A mooring snubber absorbs shock loads and relieves tension on lines and deck fittings by stretching and compressing under load, softening the jolt from wave action, wind, or towing rather than transmitting it directly to your cleats and fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need extra hardware to install the Sea-Dog 561516 snubber?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the Sea-Dog 561516 snubber is easy to use and requires no extra hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I adjust how much give the snubber provides?\u003c\/strong\u003e The amount of compensating movement can be adjusted by changing the number of turns the line takes around the snubber body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this snubber suitable for tidal areas?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Sea-Dog 561516 is ideal for use in tidal areas, on exposed moorings, and in towing situations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Sea-Dog 561516 mooring snubber weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e It weighs 1.14 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this rubber snubber hold up to sun and saltwater exposure?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the rubber used in the Sea-Dog 561516 is constructed to resist sunlight, saltwater, and ozone, which are the main causes of degradation in mooring accessories left rigged outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many snubbers come in a package?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sea-Dog 561516 mooring snubber is packaged as a standard pack of 1 each.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 561516 snubber the same size as other Sea-Dog mooring snubbers?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the 561516 is sized for 1\/2 inch to 9\/16 inch line and measures 19-3\/4 inches; Sea-Dog offers other snubber part numbers sized for different line diameters, so match your line size before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sea-Dog","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988826763483,"sku":"S-D-561516","price":31.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/6864_aecde7ac-a40f-4abb-9a98-1aa34906370a.jpg?v=1784429813","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sea-dog-rubber-mooring-snubber-561516-epdm-dock-line-shock-absorber-for-1-2-in-to-9-16-in-line-19-3-4-in","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
