Airhead Marine Products
The Airhead Marine Products - Bungee Dock Line is a shock-absorbing marine rope designed to make docking watercraft up to 3,500 to 4,000 lbs quick and hassle-free. It features an internal elastic bungee cord that acts as a built-in snubber, minimizing strain on boat cleats and docks by stretching and re-tightening with wave movement.
Key Specifications
The lines are available in three different lengths to accommodate varying docking setups:
- 4-Foot Model: Stretches up to 5.5 feet.
- 5-Foot Model: Stretches up to 7 feet.
- 6-Foot Model: Stretches up to 9 feet.
Primary Features
- Built-In Snubber: The internal bungee core dampens impact from wake and wind, protecting your vessel's hardware.
- Chafe Protection: Equipped with two foam floats that prevent the rope from sinking and keep the line from scratching or chafing the boat's finish.
- Knot-Free Operation: Features an adjustable sliding loop at both ends, allowing you to secure the boat over a dock cleat or piling within seconds without tying knots.
- High Strength: Built with 2,150 lb. tensile strength, making it highly reliable for temporary mooring.
Usage Considerations
According to official guidelines, these lines are intended for temporary tie-ups (such as launching or quick stops) and are not recommended for long-term mooring or high-wind environments where continuous friction can cause rapid abrasion compared to standard braided nylon lines.
