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.

Speedboats or powerboats are normally streamlined boats with very powerful engines in them. They range in size from the small Zapcats which were originally designed from surf rescue crafts in South Africa, and although they are only powered by a 50 horsepower engine they can go very fast reaching speeds of 50mph, as they are very light. They are relatively inexpensive and because they are inflatable they can be set up and packed away easily. Seadoo Sportsters are another attractively priced option at around �20000

Modern yachts have efficient sail-plans, most notably the Bermuda rig, that allow them to sail towards the wind. This capability is the result of a sail-plan and hull design, typically a sloop rig, that utilizes Bernoulli's principle to generate lift.
