I just purchased a floating dock so I can keep my boat in the water for a couple of days at a time. I need help in figuring out the best way to tie up. I just dont want to have the boat rubbing up against a bumper. The floating dock is inside a marina and does not have wave action to deal with.

I would like some advice on your set ups (pictures a great help) as well as the pros and cons of your current rig.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Adam Dean told me about Hippy Hop balls for kids with built in handles. Get the small for smaller kids. I have used them for bumpers for years and they work great. Get two for each side.  Kid sit on them and hold the handle and jump.

I think the whips will be great!  My question is: my boat is a 1999 SN which has no cleats… I was going to attach them to the lifting rings which are in the center of the boat verses the cleats on the side….That would mean I need longer whips correct?  How do I know what size whips to buy?

The practical alternative to marine railways, davits and lifts, these fiberglass Mooring Whips are exceptionally strong, attractive and do not obstruct your waterfront view. Each whip mounts with a durable cast aluminum base with built-in cleat.

These quality Mooring Whips act as a spring to maintain your boat at a safe convenient distance away from your dock to prevent impacts caused by waves or the wakes of other passing watercraft. Complete with double braided nylon whip lines, spring lines, and stainless steel mounting hardware. Some mooring areas may be too rough for any type of tie-up system. Weight is more critical than boat length when selecting the correct size of whip.
