SlideMoor solves most of the docking problems that most boaters will encounter. This simple system (almost too simple) ties your boat TIGHT to a bumper/Slide that rides on an 8' track you bolt to your piling.

The vertical movement caused by waves and tides make the self lubricating carriage move up and down with your boat as necessary but any horizontal motion or surge is not allowed since the boat is tied tight to the Slide. Since all horizontal motion is eliminated, no "wind-up" is allowed to start and therefore no damaging "punch" will harm your boat or dock.

This simplifies docking lines by eliminating ALL lines except the short lines on the SlideMoor which are all on one side of your boat. Simple. This eliminates bumpers, whips, outer tide poles. No movement when loading or unloading. Larger boats can fit in smaller slips since this motion is all but eliminated.

Always have your boat right at dockside no matter where the tide is. Never worry about the loose line/ tight lines problems that the tides bring Imagine your boat staying in one place while boarding.

Eliminate:
Bowlines Stearnlines Springlines Bumpers (of all kinds) Outer poles Worries while away from your boat
Enhance Docking:
Simplified lines Speeds up docking and leaving Safety while boarding

Works on ALL size boats in protected areas like canals or marinas. Works on smaller boats (under 25') in most other conditions (see "Conditions" page)

It must be said that SlideMoor only works when the boat is held TIGHT to the SlideMoor and will not work any other way!

This product is used to control boat location in a slip where tide or water level is prone to change.
On smaller boats it can be used to control boats in wavy conditions along with tide changes.

Since SlideMoor only works when the boat is held TIGHT to the SlideMoor, the location of your piling/track with regard to the cleats on your boat will be your most important consideration. By holding the boat tight, all lines will be on ONE side of the boat with no need for any lines other than the line you use on the SlideMoor. You may need to add a cleat to your boat directly in line with the piling/track OR add or move a piling to be directly in line with the cleat on your boat. (see fig 1.1) The time and expense to do this correctly will be rewarded with the many benefits of the SlideMoor system.

This works with bow or stern out.

At times unnecessary pilings can be removed from one side of your mooring as is the case with outer pilings. These pilings can be used to correct the line-up problems stated above. This also gives more room to
maneuver in your docking area when these pilings are out of the way.

If adding a cleat to your boat, be sure it is attached properly. If your are not sure how to attach a cleat,
have it done by a qualified technician.
