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.

Customer Reviews

Very Happy

These have worked great for both my stern lines. My challenge was securing a sailboat with 13.5' beam in slip with pylons spaced only about 13.75' wide. These will fail to role up and over obstacles such as the blunt end of rubber pylon guards, but with some creative work arounds this product would be a good solution for many who don't have the ability to set long stern and bow lines.
