Davis Instruments Shockles Tension Rope

DAVIS INSTRUMENTS Shockles Tension Rope: The Ultimate Shock Absorber for Anchoring & Mooring

Protect your boat and enhance your peace of mind with the DAVIS INSTRUMENTS Shockles Tension Rope, the essential line snubber for every boater´s anchoring and mooring system. Designed to absorb sudden shock loads and prevent damaging stress on your boat´s hardware, Shockles provide a quieter, safer, and more secure experience whether you´re docked at the marina, anchored in a rolling bay, or secured to a mooring ball. Eliminate the jarring and jolting caused by wind, waves, and wakes, and significantly reduce the strain on your cleats, chocks, lines, and anchor systems.

The brilliance of Shockles lies in its advanced engineering. The innovative progressive tension design means the further the Line Snubber stretches the greater its return force for smooth action and moderated stress. This intelligent response ensures a gentle, controlled give-and-take with the elements, preventing the violent jerks that can lead to equipment failure or a restless night´s sleep. Your mooring and dock lines will last longer, and your deck fittings will be shielded from the immense forces exerted during adverse conditions.

Engineered for durability and safety in the harsh marine environment, every component is built to withstand the elements. The patented internal line limiter is made of 2500 lb. (1140 kg) test nylon webbing, providing a crucial safety backbone. The Line snubber´s outer sheath is 3500 lb. (1590 kg) test tubular nylon webbing that is UV resistant to protect internal parts from sun degradation, ensuring reliable performance season after season.

For optimal performance and safety, Shockles are strong but they need to be rigged inline so they never bear the full load alone. This simple setup allows the snubber to work in harmony with your existing lines to effectively dampen shocks. Six to 12´´ (15-30 cm) of slack is recommended in the line between the attachment points of the Shockle. It is important to increase line slack between the attachment loops to a maximum of 12´´ (30 cm) as loads increase. This ensures the system has room to work effectively. As a final safety measure, the Line Snubber has a maximum stretch of 16´´ (40 cm) before the line limiter safely stops further elongation, preventing over-stretching and protecting your entire mooring setup.

Upgrade your anchoring and mooring equipment with the trusted performance of DAVIS INSTRUMENTS Shockles and experience a new level of security and comfort on the water.
