To use: Drop a Dock Sentry over a pole at the bow and one over a pole at the stern end of the boat.  Tie mooring lines to Dock Sentry’s where indicated. Snug mooring lines to keep waves from rocking the boat and the inflatable float on dock sentry will cushion the boat against the mooring pole allowing it to rise easily during high water events, all the while, keeping it from rocking and slamming against the dock from currents, waves, & winds or all of these.  

Docks with poles under 2 ¾in O.D. would order 12in or 16inDock Sentry’s. Two each per boat one for the bow line and one for the stern line. Larger boats and docks with poles on the inside of dock edge, order the 16in size Dock Sentry for best results.  For all smaller boats with pipes on the outer edge of the dock, 12in Dock Sentry’s are adequate. 

For docks with piles large poles or no poles, we recommend using 30in poles for floating docks and 5ft telescoping poles for stationary docks where flooding may occur.  On small stable lakes with no history of flooding a smaller pole may be adequate.  We can adopt a mounting configuration so our poles can be attached to almost any dock construction even drive on docks.  Please feel free to call us with your unique dock requirements.
