Key benefits - Safer, easier docking: Soft docking reduces the need for external assistance when connecting to float rings, lowering the risk of slips and falls on the water and making docking easier and more reliable. - Flexible docking with smart linkage: Bypasses posts, pilings, or remote mooring cables with an intelligent switching connection that automatically aligns with the fork hook and routes to the opposite side for maximum flexibility and convenience. - Simple, intuitive use: Pull on a boat handle to catch the buoy quickly. Thread the rod through the buoy ring, pull the rear out, and the hook automatically pulls the line as you pull the ring for fast, effortless docking. - Practical storage and portability: 2/3 telescoping design allows compact storage and easy transport. Stores in the boat’s lower storage area and can be securely locked, making it a convenient tool for boat owners. How it works - Connection to float rings requires no external help, enabling smoother docking transitions. - The smart linkage automatically connects to the fork hook and directs movement to the opposite side for flexible operation. - The buoy catching mechanism is designed for fast, one-hand use, streamlining mooring or docking tasks. What makes it stand out - Telescoping design for compact storage without sacrificing performance. - Built to handle routine docking tasks with minimal effort, reducing handling time and risk. - Easy-to-store design that fits in typical boat storage compartments with secure locking. Specifications and attributes to note - 2/3 telescoping design for adjustable length and compact storage - Intended for use with standard buoy rings and compatible mooring setups - Focused on hands-free or minimal-effort docking and mooring operations Use scenarios - Scenario 1: Docking at a small marina with activity around the waterline. Use the soft docking feature to connect to float rings smoothly without stepping onto a slippery deck, reducing fall risk. - Scenario 2: Docks with pilings or remote mooring lines. Use the flexible docking function to bypass obstacles and automatically align with the fork hook for secure mooring on either side. - Scenario 3: Boating trips where space saving is important. Deploy the 2/3 telescoping design to minimize storage space, store in the boat’s lower locker, and lock securely when not in use.
