Boat Dock Bumper Wheel

It’s designed to slide over a dock post and act as a buffer between your boat and dock. It helps protect them from damage when docking or departing.

The universal model fits most galvanized dock posts. Ensure your post diameter matches the wheel’s center hole size – check your post measurement before purchase.

Made of durable poly‑vinyl material with high strength. It’s built to withstand exposure to sun, water, and the repeated impacts of boats.

Slide it over the post, align it where your boat typically contacts the dock, and secure it per the mounting instructions. Because it’s a “wheel” design it rolls/rotates a bit to reduce friction.

Yes—it is designed to rotate slightly so the boat glides gently rather than scraping harshly. This rotation helps reduce wear on both boat hull and dock structure.

Because it is rounded (wheel shaped) it offers less surface friction and allows the boat to slide along it, rather than hitting a rigid block. This is especially helpful in winds, waves, or when docking with angle.

Very little. Just rinse off any debris, check for cracks or extreme UV damage periodically, and ensure fasteners remain tight. The durable material means long service life.

Yes. It’s universal and can be installed on side posts, corner posts, or stern posts where boat contact happens. You may choose more than one if you expect contact in multiple areas.

Yes—the bumper wheel is designed for year‑round use. However when ice is present, docking operations always carry risk so the bumper serves as protection but doesn’t remove the need for safe docking practices.

• Position it at the height where your boat hull contacts the dock.
• Ensure the post is clean and free of rot or damage before installing.
• Tighten all mounting bolts to avoid wobble.
• Consider using two bumper wheels opposite each other for better alignment.
