FAQ
Why use a mooring snubber?
A mooring snubber provides elasticity and flexibility in the mooring system. When a boat is subjected to wave action or strong currents, the snubber acts as a shock absorber, dampening the sudden jerking or pulling forces on the lines.
To minimize the jerking and the accompanying wear on lines and cleats, attach a line snubber to each dock line. Snubbers are made of a material capable of stretching enough to absorb the shock of a quick stop. With the familiar black rubber ones, the dock line feeds through an eye on one end of the snubber, then wraps around the snubber a few times before leading through the eye at the other end.
