Benefits and Advantages
Benefits and advantages that Dock-It Launcher™ will provide:
- Devices are self-adjusting and will provide shock absorption that ropes will not provide.
- Devices will conform to cleats, posts, and large pylons of most every dock you will encounter.
- Devices will grab and hold cleats, rails, and posts better than ropes will.
- Devices are more "universal" than other docking devices that have connection loops made with non-stretch rope.
- Not having to worry if the knot in a rope will slip and fail.
- Devices will allow for (length) adjustments with being able to make additional wraps around cleats, posts, and pilings.
- Devices are tangle-free.
- Devices are very compact for easy storage.
- There is no long rope to remove, wind up, and store when leaving the dock.
- You will no longer have to reach under the bow of the boat to connect or disconnect a rope that is connected to the front eyebolt.
- The main cord can stay connected to your boat all day long without any interference - it will be in place and will be ready to use when you pull into your dock when you are ready to pack up for the day.
- If docking on a windblown or high-current pier, you can use the main cord for a primary connection and then double-secure your boat by also using the two included loops.
- Devices keep your boat close to the dock when boarding for added safety.
- Devices allow your boat to move with the waves = protects your boat and the dock.
- Devices provide a way to hang bumpers between a dock and your boat.
- Great for boat tie-ups. The devices allow a way to hang bumpers between the boats as well as provide a way to connect the boats together.
- Devices can be used for rafting with another boat at a dock - use the main cord and the loops much like you would with a boat tie-up.
- If there are no cleats, pylons, or posts, a mate can easily use the main strap to hold onto the boat while the boat is being launched, which will provide an easy way to control the boat next to the pier while the owner parks the tow vehicle.
- Devices can be used for securing gear inside the boat while in motion on the water.
- Devices can be used to secure gear inside the boat while trailering.
- If your boat is moored to a pier in waves, the cords have constant tension so they won’t come off the cleats like rope often do.
- Devices can be attached to a drift sock or a bucket to help slow your drift – the shock absorbing capability means you also will enjoy a smoother drift.
- Devices can be used in tandem with your anchor rope for shock absorption and better anchor holding capabilities.
- Devices can be used with a sandpoint anchor to hold your boat better than a non-stretch rope will.
- Devices can assist with centering your boat over the trailer while loading at a dock that has heavy current or heavy winds present. Attach a loop to the rear cleat and have an assistant pull the rear of the boat over the center of the trailer as you winch it up and drive it up the ramp).
- Devices can be rigged to span the boat interior so that you can drape a tarp or cover over it to create a temporary covering (or to create a clothesline for drying your wet/damp gear).
- Devices can quickly be attached to a connection point on your boat to create an emergency boarding ladder or foot support for someone in the water.
- Devices can also be used for many non-boating needs (especially when away from home and at campgrounds ...help secure tent posts in heavy winds, create a support for a rain canopy, create a clothesline, etc...)
