Taylor Made Products Chafe Guard 96013 for 1/2 to 5/8 Inch Lines, White, Pair

The Taylor Made Products Chafe Guard 96013 is a slide-on line protector that shields your dock lines from wear as they run through chocks and over rough edges. Each guard measures 14 inches long and is sized to fit lines from 1/2 inch up to 5/8 inch in diameter, sliding directly over the line so it rides at the wear point instead of leaving the rope exposed to friction against the hull, chock, or piling. The guard is sold as a pair, giving you a matched set for both dock lines on one side of the boat, or for bow and stern lines that both need protection. Built in white to blend with most hull and dock line colors, the chafe guard is made from a durable rubber material designed to hold up to repeated contact with chocks and hardware without cracking or splitting. Because it slides freely along the length of the line, it can be repositioned to cover whatever section is taking the most abuse, extending the usable life of your dock lines and reducing the fraying that leads to premature line replacement. It is a simple, low-cost way to protect an investment in quality dock line. Taylor Made Products also offers this same chafe guard style in a version sized for 3/4 inch line (96014), along with corner-style chafe guards (96008 and 96009) for protecting line at dock corners rather than along its length, so it is worth confirming your line diameter before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

What line diameter does the Taylor Made 96013 chafe guard fit? The 96013 chafe guard is sized for dock lines between 1/2 inch and 5/8 inch in diameter. If your line is 3/4 inch, Taylor Made Products makes a separate chafe guard, part number 96014, sized for that thicker line.

How long is each chafe guard? Each guard in the 96013 pair measures 14 inches long, giving enough coverage to protect the section of line that runs through a chock or over a rub point.

How many chafe guards come in a package? The 96013 is sold as a pair, so one package includes 2 chafe guards, enough to protect two separate dock lines or both ends of a single line run.

What material is the chafe guard made from? The Taylor Made 96013 chafe guard is made from rubber, chosen for its ability to resist repeated friction against chocks and hardware without cracking.

What color is the 96013 chafe guard? This chafe guard is white, matching the color used on most Taylor Made dock line accessories.

How do you install the chafe guard on a dock line? The chafe guard slides directly over the dock line rather than clamping or tying on, so it can be positioned anywhere along the line's length and repositioned later to cover a new wear point.

Does the chafe guard work with lines run through chocks? Yes, the 96013 chafe guard is designed to slide through chocks along with the dock line, protecting the rope where it contacts the chock's edge.

What is the difference between the 96013 and the 96008 or 96009 chafe guards? The 96013 slides over the length of a 1/2 to 5/8 inch line, while the 96008 (2-1/4 inch x 6 inch) and 96009 (3-1/2 inch x 6 inch) are corner-style guards made to protect line specifically at dock corners rather than along a straight run.

What is the shipping weight of the 96013 chafe guard set? The Taylor Made 96013 chafe guard pair weighs 0.77 pounds as packaged.

What are the package dimensions of the 96013 chafe guard? The 96013 pair ships in packaging measuring 16.81 x 2.68 x 1.42 inches.

Will the chafe guard fit lines thicker than 5/8 inch? No, lines thicker than 5/8 inch will not fit properly in the 96013 guard; use the Taylor Made 96014 chafe guard, which is sized for 3/4 inch line, instead.
