Discount Codes Polyform US 2026: Up to 20% OFF Updated

Always pick up a mooring with the top ring when using a boat hook to remove the buoy. The mooring pennant should then be shackled to the mooring chain shackle rather than the buoy itself. Instead of the buoy, this puts all the stress on the anchor chain. The weight of the line or chain a Polyform US buoy must support determines its size. The buoyancy chart on the individual Polyform US buoy information page can be consulted after you have determined the weight of your line and added a safety margin of 25%. When mooring lines are likely to come into contact with deck hardware or run through bow chocks, chafing gear should always be used. The buoy will not chafe if there is a thimble attached to the shackled end.
