Absorb the shock, protect your gear

At anchor or tied to the dock, waves and wind create shock loads that jerk hard on your rode and lines, wearing gear, straining cleats, and making for a jerky, noisy ride. The Snubber solves that with a stretchy snubber that absorbs the shock. Attached between your rode or dock line and the boat, it stretches under load to smooth out the jerking, reducing strain on your anchor gear, cleats, and the boat, and making time at anchor more comfortable. For boaters who anchor out or leave the boat at a dock in chop, The Snubber is a simple, effective way to protect gear and ease the ride.

Choosing the right snubber comes down to your boat size and use. Match the snubber to your boat weight and the line size, since snubbers are sized for a range of boats and loads, and an undersized one will not absorb the shock well. Attach it correctly between the rode or line and the boat per the instructions, and use it on chain rode with a hook or on rope as directed. Consider keeping snubbers for both anchoring and docking. Review the product details and your boat size before buying. With The Snubber, you absorb shock loads and protect your gear.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an anchor snubber do?

A snubber attaches between your anchor rode and the boat and stretches under load to absorb the shock from waves and wind. That reduces the hard jerking on your rode and cleats, protecting gear and making time at anchor smoother and quieter.

How do I size a snubber?

Match the snubber to your boat weight and line size, since snubbers are sized for a range of boats and loads. An undersized snubber will not absorb the shock well, while the right size stretches properly. Check the product details and your boat size.

Can I use it for dock lines too?

Yes. A snubber works on dock lines as well as anchor rode, absorbing the shock from chop and wakes to protect your lines, cleats, and the boat at the dock. Attach it correctly per the instructions for the line and load you are using.
