Davis Rocker Stopper Boat Stabilizer

The Rocker Stopper Boat Stabilizer is engineered to reduce the rocking motion of your boat while at anchor, providing a smoother and more stable experience on the water. Ideal for both sail and powerboats, these stabilizers ensure your vessel remains steady in various marine conditions.

How Rocker Stoppers Function

Rocker Stoppers work by dampening your boat's movement through strategically placed units on each side. By tying them approximately 44 cm (18″) apart, you create a stabilizing string. Attach a 5-10 pound weight at the end of each string to keep the Rocker Stoppers submerged, effectively minimizing rocking motions.

Installation Instructions

1. Use 10 mm (3/8″) braided nylon or 3-stranded nylon line to tie Rocker Stoppers approximately 44 cm (18″) apart.
2. Attach a 5-10 pound weight to the bottom of each string to ensure they remain underwater.
3. Hang one string off each side of the boat, ensuring the Rocker Stoppers are always submerged.
4. For enhanced stability, many users pair Rocker Stoppers with mushroom anchors, allowing the weight to nest inside the last Rocker Stopper in the string.

Versatile Applications

• Drift Fishing: Use without a weight or with a reduced weight to significantly slow down drift.
• Dock Stabilization: Secure the end of a dock to prevent the tip from rocking.
