A three-year limited warranty is available on all materials and workmanship. Since the mooring whip line is attached to your boat cleats that are dockside, it doesn’t matter how wide you boat is. A minimum distance of four feet from the dock is required. You just need enough length for a proper pole bow keeping your boat 3-4’ from the dock. Also the length of the pole does not add any strength to the pole itself. In fact, most mooring whips use a 1” pole the resistance is almost always the same, the strength of the base can be a factor in deciding which mooring whip you may want to purchase. If there is wind and or current the size of your boat will be a major factor.Ĭonversely, a well-protected large boat at a dock will produce little resistance to your mooring whips and a small boat with high winds or a strong current may overcome the resistance of most mooring whips.
The wind and current are the major forces acting against the resistance and spring action of the poles, keeping your boat from hitting the dock. True, small water craft do not need more robust equipment, but the fact is the location of the boat is the major factor as to whether a specific mooring whip will work for a specific boat. Size matters when it comes to docking products… All Dockmate Mooring Whips come as a pair with all necessary lines and hardware to complete installation. Note that some docking conditions may be too rough for this type of system. Available in 8, 12, 14 & 16 lengths for boats up to 33 and up to 20,000 lb. I suspect this question originates from industry advertising, selling various sized mooring whips based on boat weight. Each Whip mounts with a durable cast aluminum base with built-in cleat. This question is not an original customer question. When searching for mooring whips many people frequently ask “what size whip do I need for my boat it weighs 10,000 pounds”.
