Sea-Dog Rubber Mooring Snubber, 19-3/4 Inch, Fits 1/2 Inch - 9/16 Inch Line

The Sea-Dog Rubber Mooring Snubber (part number 561516) absorbs shock loads and relieves tension on dock lines and deck fittings, protecting cleats, chocks, and mooring hardware from the repeated jolts caused by wave action, wind, and boat wake. 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.

The 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.

Constructed 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.
