Tide Eliminators
I was going to use tide eliminators this year with the floating dock. Anyone have any positive or negatives about this product. Good price and seems like they work well.

Re: Tide Eliminators
Looks like a good product... I've also seen guys make them out of 2 inch PVC..
They cut the pipe down in 3 inch pieces, snake a line though them and tie it around the piling. Only problem is they do not float.

Re: Tide Eliminators
I use tide minders on my 26 century and they work like a charm. For the larger pilings like in Atlantic you need 3 sets to complete the ring around the piling. The only negative is if the boats next to you have lines low on the pilings. Was never an issue until a storm surge. Overall they are great and you rarely need to check your lines!!

Re: Tide Eliminators
Irish, do you need to by three sets to go around one pilling? So 150 a side?

Re: Tide Eliminators
No the 3 sets will be for both pilings depending on the piling size. They come in sets of 9, I have 12 on one side and 12 on the other. Another bonus is they float and are easily hung on a nail when you leave the dock. I only have the 2 stern lines going to the the pilings with the balls and 2 bow lines and I don't move at all. They work great!!

Re: Tide Eliminators
Can someone help me with the rigging using tideminders?
Im putting the boat into a slip this year. Dock is fixed. My plan was to just put tideminders on all 4 pilings. No line crossing nothing fancy. port bow to port piling starboard bow to starboard bow piling starboard stern to starboard stern piling port stern to port stern piling All 4 will have tide minders. Thoughts? Does that make sense or should I be looking to rig another way

Re: Tide Eliminators
I'm not saying good or bad. But one big sinking cause and salvage is the boat getting stuck under the fixed dock in a storm surge high tide situation.
Whatever you decide just keep that possibility in mind. That under dock hang up sinks many boats left in in the fall months . Quote:
