THE PERFECT BUNGEE24" Boat Snubber Dock Line Shock Absorber, Heavy Duty, Made in USA

Work like a charm. Keeps the lines quiet all night long!!

These are some of the best value for money dock/anchor line snubbers that you will find on the market. I can only find a few faults, which I will detail later. More immediately, you will find that these snubbers easily accommodate up to 3/4 inch line. I've actually managed to have them accommodate larger line by dressing the threaded end carefully, compressing the snubber eye and using a dab of silicon spray to get things started). The difference snubbers make on a boat at dock or anchor is significant. If you live aboard, you could easily find heal angle reduce in a blow and sharp jolts to the boat's cleats almost eliminated. All of my dock lines sport these now for a night and day difference.Now, for the reasons this snubber design didn't get 5 stars. There is very little guidance on how many wraps you can put between the snubber eyes. I ended up using about 7, but one thing you will notice is that no matter how many turns you put in, after several hard blows, you can count on two or three of them coming out. This means that the snubber twists with use. I'm sure there's a magic number of twists that significantly reduce the failure limit (listed as a breaking strength of 1000 pounds, which is actually much less than other snubbers list). The Taylor Made/Dock Edge/West Marine/Falcon style of dock line snubber also has this problem, but at least they're more up front about how many twists their snubber can take. The only snubber the does not have this problem is the "Made in Sweden" snubber, which is also less expensive than the more ubiquitous Taylor Made/Dock Edge/West Marine/Falcon style.The snubbers are also a little long. I like this. It allows more twists, provide more weight on the mooring line and generally makes for a larger elastic capacity. However, if you are in confined spaces or rig your dock lines with long oblique stern-to-bow spring lines, you might find that the snubber comes close to rubbing against the boat. This is easily solved by placing the snubber in the middle of the line or, less desirably, placing the snubber close to the dock cleat. Not discussed in any literature coving the use of snubbers is optimal placement. I'm sure those with short, taut docklines are familiar with the characteristic bend or kink the develops in a dock used at close to working capacity. I'd personally like to know if the snubber should be placed directly where the kink develops or if it should be before/after the kink on the boat/dock side of the line. Wouldn't it be nice of the folks who made the product actually knew the answer to this question?I have tried pretty much all the 3/4 inch snubbers that Amazon sells and I like The Perfect Bungee and Made in Sweden versions the most. The Taylor Made/Dock Edge/West Marine/Falcon style can blow it out their ear due to expense, product line tiering and the arduous threading dock lines through them.

Why are these not found in the dock line snubber category? I would not have spend twice the money on one that I like a whole lot less. These are serious the perfect dock line snubbers.

Could be my location, but in an attempt to remove a large amount of mold that had grown on the surface of the snubber after 6 months of service.I used water with dish soap, bleach to soak it overnight and in the morning it was blue again, but now the surfaces are sticky… and blue sticky $htuff comes off onto your line, hands, boat, dock , basically any surface that touches it!! Have looked for support from mgr and/or Amazon, but I found nothing 😖At $25 each, I now have $100 worth of gooey snubbers😳…Other than that, they work great 😉Hope this helps✌️

The pros: These snubbers are easy to install; and so far, have helped our 25' 3000# pontoon boat NOT yank the tie-up posts out of the lakebed. We live on a large inland lake and can get waves to 2' - that combined with stiff winds has caused the boat to break the snaps on the end of the tie-up ropes. We've had no problems since installing these; I'm very happy with the performance and would certainly buy these again (they cost a lot less than those sold at our local boating store). The million-dollar question is "how long will these last"? Can't answer that yet - but after 3 months, they still look unaffected by the weather and sun.The cons are minor: what WAS a nice bright yellow is now more like orange. And because these are heavy - they negate the easy line retrieval by using floating rope (everything sinks now) - so we tied empty milk jugs to the ends of the lines to make them easy to hook and grab. Neither "con" affects the overall performance.

This product has improved my dockside life very much indeed. Now instead of the wrenching sound of my dock lines straining against windy days, there is a softer sound that finally allows me to drift off to sleep!It seems to be well made of a strong and durable material, and will hopefully last a good few years.

Works great and provides a reliable relief on my boat and dock cleats. I’m on salt water and after 3 months of exposure the deep blue has a brown hue, but no signs of chapping.

Using this unit on a screw in anchor as a mooring line.

I used this bungee on the rope from my boat to a buoy on a lake It was what it was advertised. Good quality, good price,The shipping was first rate

Very heavy duty. Much cheaper than snubber but works just as well.

Great product and good quality.

I haven't tried it yet, but it is much thicker and sturdier than I expected from the picture. very impressed.

Really helped against the waves that put so much stress on my mooring and sailboat.
