FAQs
Q: What does a dock protection “package” actually do?
A: It’s meant to protect the high impact areas where boats commonly touch the dock while coming in and out of a slip. That reduces dock rash, keeps docking calmer, and can prevent costly repairs over time.
Q: Is dock protection only for beginners or does it help experienced boaters too?
A: It helps everyone, because even skilled boaters deal with wind, current, and tight slips. Protection creates a margin of safety for those unpredictable moments when the boat shifts faster than you want.
Q: What’s the biggest benefit, boat protection or dock protection?
A: It’s both, because the contact damage goes both ways. When the dock is protected, boats stay cleaner and less scratched, and the dock hardware and edges last longer too.
