What are the benefits of using bow guides?
Bow guides prevent you from overrunning the boat lift, a common mistake even for experienced boaters. Bow guide protects your boat, lift, and dock system. By preventing your boat from overrunning the boat lift system, your bow guides ensure you’re not putting undue stress on your boat lift from uneven weight distribution. It also helps prevent the worst-case scenario of your boat falling off your lift system.

What are bow guides for boat lifts?
A bow guide is a simple cushion that attaches to the front of your boat lift. Its function is simple: keep your boat from overrunning the lift and getting too far forward as it’s being docked. While jet ski docking platforms and other dock systems might incorporate guides into their design, bow guides are necessary for larger boat lifts.
What is a boat bow bumper?
A dock bumper, also known as a boat bumper, is a pad or cushion attached to the perimeter of your dock system. It’s designed to protect the dock and any boats that are mooring, floating, or otherwise coming near your dock. ShoreMaster carries side, corner, and vertical boat bow bumpers with adapter kits that allow owners to change the orientation of the vertical bumpers to horizontal if desired.
Why do I need a boat bow bumper?
Protecting your boat and your boat dock from collisions is critical. Even the most careful boaters can end up bumping or scraping their watercraft’s hull against the edge of a dock, which could lead to costly repairs. A severe enough impact will damage both; therefore, a boat bow bumper is an essential part of any dock system owned by a boater.
