Additional Information:
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
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
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.

Captain
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.

Don't waste money prematurely building a floating dock. Instead, use TideMinders ® to protect your boat. Tideminder Balls automatically roll up and down pilings!
TideMinders® work with multiple boats simultaneously!
If you can tie a figure 8 knot, you’re ready to use the TideMinders system (instructions are included).
One set of 9 Tideminders gives you protection on a 12" diameter piling. For larger diameter pilings, more balls can be added as specified below (Tideminders can be tailored for use on up to 24" pilings). A 9-ball set is perfect for 12" diameter pilings/ 2 sets for 18" diameter pilings. Tideminders can also be purchased individually to add to other size pilings.
