As the cooler weather begins to set in, now is the perfect time to ensure your vessel is safely moored to withstand the storms that frequent the southern half of the country each winter.
Around 90 per cent of storm surge damage to boats in marinas is caused by breaking lines, which is where Marine Solutions’ innovative mooring compensators come to the rescue.
Made from a long-lasting compound and designed to enhance shock absorption on mooring lines, mooring compensators provide a simple and inexpensive solution to reduce the stressful load on your vessel’s cleats, fittings and lines when the wind gets up.
Available in four different sizes to accommodate lines up to 24mm, mooring compensators are extremely easy to fit. The line is simply threaded through the holes in the compensator.
The compensating movement can be varied by winding the line around the compensator a different number of turns, which is a further advantage offered only by these compensators.
Starting at $64.75 per compensator, Marine Solutions can also fit the mooring compensators to customised lines (in a variety of colours) with spliced ends. Proven across the globe, investing in a few mooring compensators is a small price to pay for the safety of your vessel.
In addition to mooring compensators, Marine Solutions has an extensive range of ropes, covers, fenders, dock wheels and the unique D Fender system… everything you need to ensure your boat will remain safe throughout the coming months.
