Mooring whips are vital for keeping your most treasured asset safe and secure when docked behind your home. Even several fenders and the strongest dock lines won’t keep your boat from bouncing against the dock and ruining its shiny polish if you don’t have a pair of whips. Wakes from passing ships and breezy conditions may gradually scuff and perhaps damage your rub rail, or worse, your expensive Gelcoat, if you don’t have the protection.

Mooring whips are a cost-effective technique to protect your yacht from dock and seawall damage. The Mooring Whip system draws your boat away from the dock at a convenient and safe distance, shielding it from the harmful impacts of waves, wind, tides, and wakes. Aluminum-magnesium base units, Solid fiberglass poles, and mooring whip lines are utilized to make mooring whips. Each package includes all of the essential hardware for installation. They are sold in sets of two.
Fixed angle bases with a 60-degree angle, 13/16 inches, are included with mooring whips. Premium Mooring Whips are also available at marinesuppliesus.com. Here you can find boat mooring whips with innovative rocker arm bases that allow the whip poles to return to a vertical position when not in use. These are suited for sailboats and boats that are larger, heavier, or have a high profile.

Mall watercraft do not require more sturdy equipment, but the boat’s position is the most critical aspect determining whether or not a given mooring whip will work for that boat. The wind and current are the main forces working against the poles’ resistsance and spring action, preventing your boat from slamming the dock. The size of your ship will be a significant influence if there is wind or current.
A well-protected large boat at a dock, on the other hand, will produce little resistance to your mooring whips, while a tiny boat in heavy winds or a strong current may be able to overcome most mooring whip resistance. All you need is enough length to make a decent pole bow and keep your boat 3-4 feet away from the pier.
