Default Tide Eliminators

I was going to use tide eliminators this year with the floating dock. Anyone have any positive or negatives about this product. Good price and seems like they work well.

Looks like a good product... I've also seen guys make them out of 2 inch PVC..
They cut the pipe down in 3 inch pieces, snake a line though them and tie it around the piling. Only problem is they do not float.

I use tide minders on my 26 century and they work like a charm. For the larger pilings like in Atlantic you need 3 sets to complete the ring around the piling. The only negative is if the boats next to you have lines low on the pilings. Was never an issue until a storm surge. Overall they are great and you rarely need to check your lines!!

Irish, do you need to by three sets to go around one pilling? So 150 a side?

No the 3 sets will be for both pilings depending on the piling size. They come in sets of 9, I have 12 on one side and 12 on the other. Another bonus is they float and are easily hung on a nail when you leave the dock. I only have the 2 stern lines going to the the pilings with the balls and 2 bow lines and I don't move at all. They work great!!

Can someone help me with the rigging using tideminders?

Im putting the boat into a slip this year. Dock is fixed.

My plan was to just put tideminders on all 4 pilings. No line crossing nothing fancy.

port bow to port piling
starboard bow to starboard bow piling
starboard stern to starboard stern piling
port stern to port stern piling

All 4 will have tide minders. Thoughts?



Does that make sense or should I be looking to rig another way

I'm not saying good or bad. But one big sinking cause and salvage is the boat getting stuck under the fixed dock in a storm surge high tide situation.

Whatever you decide just keep that possibility in mind. That under dock hang up sinks many boats left in in the fall months .
