Taylor Made C-Shape Dock Edge Guard 10 ft White

If your hull keeps kissing the dock every time you come in a little hot, this Taylor Made C-shape guard is the fix. It's a 10-foot coil of white dock edging that runs along the edge of your dock or a piling face, giving your gelcoat something soft to lean on instead of bare wood or concrete. Simple, honest protection that pays for itself the first time it saves a scratch.

The C profile is the key. It wraps over the edge of the dock and sits proud, so the cushioned face takes the hit while the boat rides against it. You mount it with screws or nails driven straight through the material, which means you can run it around corners, down a bulkhead, or along a finger pier without any special hardware. Ten feet gives you enough to cover a typical slip entry or a few high-contact spots where the boat tends to swing in.

It's built from double-molded vinyl, so there's a firmer backing with a softer outer layer that does the actual cushioning. That two-layer construction is what lets it stand up to sun, salt, and years of a hull grinding against it without splitting or going brittle. The white finish keeps things looking clean at the dock and won't leave black scuff marks on a light-colored hull the way some darker guards can.

Who's this for? Anyone with a fixed dock, a floating dock, or a bulkhead where the boat comes in close. It's just as at home protecting a lift or a dinghy tie-up as it is on a full-size slip. If you've got a spot where the boat and the dock argue, put a length of this between them.

One thing to keep in mind: measure your run before you order. This is a single 10-foot coil, so a longer dock may need more than one. And because it screws or nails in place, it's a permanent-feeling install, not a bumper you move around. For a dedicated slip or a bulkhead you use every day, that's exactly what you want.
