Choosing The Best Pontoon Dock Bumpers
Picking Dock Guards for Your Pontoon Boat
If you’ve got a pontoon boat, chances are that you are already familiar with the boatloads of fun they offer (pun intended). Families are increasingly leaning towards pontoon boats due to the versatility they provide for the family, boaters, and fishermen themselves.
When it comes time to care for your pontoon boat, it’s important to safeguard it from potential damage. Many don’t realize just how susceptible pontoon boats are to damage, especially at the dock. Due to the motion of waves and nearby wakes (even soft ones), the boat can rub up against or bump into the dock in ways that can cause scratches or possible damage to the boat. The best thing to do is protect your boat from the dock, especially as you approach your slip. Even unruly light winds can sway your pontoon into the dock accidentally, causing unnecessary damage.
When selecting a bumper for your pontoon dock, be sure to avoid thin, poorly constructed bumpers with loose filling (as shown above). These aren’t built to last and they often end up polluting the water.
Montauk Supply Soft Dock Bumpers (shown below) are made with top quality, commercial-grade materials that last. Read more about our products below.
At Montauk Supply, we’ve spent years developing and perfecting a science-driven dock bumper that works much more efficiently than its counterparts currently on the market.
Our Dock Cushions Are Scientifically Engineered To Protect.
Our unique technology absorbs & diffuses the shock of a collision better than traditional rubber bumpers. Our dock fenders are constructed with soft, high-density foam material, where kinetic energy from a collision cannot be stored.
The unique technology of the Montauk Supply Dock Fender is its ability to absorb & diffuse the shock of a collision. The materials used on traditional rubber fenders store high levels of kinetic energy – this is what can cause a greater reaction against your boat.
The Montauk Supply Dock Fender is constructed with softer, high-density foam material, where the kinetic energy from a collision cannot be stored. Because of this, the impact is immediately reduced allowing for a softer, smoother contact with the dock than you would experience with a traditional bumper. Our bumpers keep your boat safe from dock rash so you don't have to worry about repairing your hull.
