Description



The TideMinder ® system protects boats by controlling dock lines (up to 1" diameter) in tidal waters / storms and is simply amazing.  TideMinders are a highly durable string of "pearls" that protect lines against fouling and chafing.

As the balls roll up and down, they offer constant tension with built in shock absorption. Tideminders eliminate the need to constantly adjust lines during storms and tidal changes. They also allow you to have shorter dock lines, keeping your boat closer to the dock for easier boarding (most boats can be kept as close as 6" to 8" from  the dock with TideMinders).

If you do have a floating dock, TideMinders® enhance the protection of your boat, smooth out the rocking and make it easier to board (these are a must-have for live-a-boards).

If you don't have a floating dock, TideMinders® are a cost-effective solution. With TideMinders, your line will simply roll up and down the piling automatically as forces demand, dissipating the energy naturally.

We sell individual TiderMinders to accommodate any size of piling.

ENVY OF THE DOCK This product works great! No more sway between pilings. Stern tied tight and rises with the tide!

Tide minders do a great job of keeping your boat away from the dock at any tide. They also act as a snubber.

TideMinder Kit Works great
Rating
We have had the TideMinder kit installed for about 2 weeks. It works perfectly. The setup instructions are easy to follow. We were looking for a solution where we were unable to cross our bowlines in the slip. This led to very short bow lines that needed constant adjustments for tide. With the TideMinder our bow(s) rise and fall with the tide and the boat remains centered in the slip.

The TideMinders work better than I thought. I went to check during a storm and was very happy and realized I would never have to worry again. My marina has tides that move 6-7 feet between dead low and high tides and TideMinders keeps my boat right where it needs to be.
