Dock Edge 9 in White Inflatable Dock Guide Wheel

A boat entering a narrow slip may contact the corner of a dock before it lines up with the berth. This Dock Edge inflatable guide wheel is designed to roll against the hull as the boat moves past. The white wheel measures nine inches in diameter. Its rolling contact helps guide a boat around the dock corner while providing cushioning.

A molded-in inflation valve allows the wheel's firmness to be adjusted. The mounting hardware is hot-dip galvanized for dockside use. The assembly is intended for corner mounting rather than placement as a conventional hanging fender. Rotation is a key part of its function because the wheel turns as the boat passes.

Mounting height should be chosen around the hull area that ordinarily approaches the dock. A smooth rolling surface can be useful where wind or current makes precise docking more difficult. The wheel complements, rather than replaces, protection along the rest of the dock face. Find more dockside cushioning and fenders for complete berth protection.
