Where to buy

The LineSaver is a rubber mooring snubber made from isoprene natural rubber. This version is sized for 3/4 inch line. It absorbs sudden jolts and excess stretch in a mooring line, and it goes on without tools. An internal self-locking system holds the line and removes chafing.

Our take

The self-locking internal system holds the line without tools, and the maker says it eliminates chafing at the grip. This one is sized for 3/4 inch line only, so match it to the line you actually run.

From our buying guide

A snubber absorbs shock and prevents sudden jolts on a dock line. It doesn't replace the line: Davis says its Shockles must always be used in parallel with a strong rope or line.

Check before you buy:

  • It's made for your line size, since some are sold by line size only, with no load or boat size.
  • Your boat is within any limit the maker gives. Davis says up to 40 ft for its DockShockle, and Polyform up to 13,200 lb for its ST-1.
