3 Essential Boat Dock Accessories

By Charlie Johnson


When you buy a power boat, it's possible that you'll also rent dock space at
the nearest marina. And that means boat dock accessories. This isn't
something a lot of people think of when they purchase a boat but you'd
be surprised at what's available for boat dock accessories. So how do
you choose?

One boat dock accessory that's crucial to your boat is dock bumpers.
Dock bumpers are designed to keep your boat from banding against the
sides of the dock in heavy winds and storms.

While most bumps would
only cause superficial problems like paint scratches (annoying enough
in itself) you could end up with some serious damage if the storm is
bad enough to really slam your boat into the sides of the dock.

Dock wheels could be something you might want to consider as well.
This is especially true if your dock spot is narrow and you have
trouble steering your boat all the way in. Dock wheels allow you
to navigate your boat to the beginning of your slot, and then they
catch your boat and bring it all the way in.

And lastly, you may want to consider a dock ladder. A dock ladder will
allow you to check out various exterior parts of your boat up close. It
also comes in handy if your can't reach your boat from the dock and choose
to swim to it.

Buying your boat is just the beginning. There are many other things you
need to take care of that new boat owners don't necessarily think of when
purchasing a boat.

How do I find a repair facility for my inflatable boat? Go to a Supplier's Index and search for the listing of the manufacturer of your boat. Click there to go to their website and locate the "dealer list" to search for a dealer/repair facility in your area. If brand loyalty is not an issue, or your brand has no dealer in your area, some of the bigger manufacturers have many dealers to choose from as most dealers will repair any brand of inflatable.


In Canada pleasure craft less than 12 metres in length need a sound-signalling device if they are not fitted with a sound-signalling appliance. The sound-signalling device can be a pealess whistle, compressed gas horn or an electric horn. Pleasure craft 12 metres or greater in length must have a fitted whistle.
