FORSHEDA shock absorbers are made of EPDM rubber, a material with excellent resistance to sunlight, saltwater, and ozone. EPDM rubber does not fade.
The line is simply passed through patented nylon clips at each end; no additional knots are needed. A simple but secure method, as the greater the tension on the line, the better the clips hold.
The length of extension of the FORSHEDA rubber shock absorber can be adjusted to local conditions:
-
1 coil of the line around the shock absorber in calm waters without splashing and swelling. Limited boat movement, minimal damping.
-
2 coils of the line around the shock absorber with a light tide and in tidal waters.
-
3 coils of the line around the shock absorber on open and unprotected moorings. Significant boat movement, strong damping.
For line diameter 22-24 mm
Every mooring line should be equipped with a FORSHEDA shock absorber
Safety Information
Safety Instructions for Mooring Line Shock Absorber
Purpose of the Product
The mooring line shock absorber is an accessory used in sailing to protect the vessel and its equipment from sudden jerks and forces generated by mooring lines. By using this shock absorber, the risk of damage to the rope, deck, or other components is significantly reduced, making mooring safer and more comfortable.
Safe Usage Guidelines
Installing the Shock Absorber
Ensure that the shock absorber is properly attached between the mooring line and the vessel, at the appropriate attachment points.
The shock absorber should be installed in a way that allows it to stretch freely during jerks while avoiding loose connections that might compromise safety.
Always check that the mounting elements of the shock absorber are in good condition and appropriately matched to the type of mooring line.
Usage During Mooring
During mooring maneuvers, ensure that the shock absorber functions correctly and absorbs jerks effectively.
For prolonged mooring, regularly inspect the shock absorber, paying special attention to its tension and any signs of wear.
Replacing the Shock Absorber
Regularly check the condition of the shock absorber, focusing on its elasticity and potential material damage.
If the shock absorber loses elasticity or shows visible damage, replace it immediately to ensure continued mooring safety.
Pre-Use Inspections
Pay attention to the mounting elements of the shock absorber to ensure they are securely fastened and durable.
Tension Check: Verify that the shock absorber is neither too tight nor too loose, as improper tension may affect its performance in absorbing jerks.
Cleaning
Regularly clean the shock absorber of sand, sea salt, and other debris that may affect the material and its durability.
Emergency Situations
Damaged Shock Absorber: If the shock absorber shows signs of wear, fraying, cracking, or loss of elasticity, replace it immediately with a new one.
Improper Use: If the shock absorber is not performing its function or is used incorrectly, it may lead to damage to the vessel or other mooring components.
Potential Hazards
Damage to the Mooring Line or Vessel: A worn or damaged shock absorber may fail to absorb jerks effectively, leading to damage to the mooring rope, deck, or other yacht components.
Improper Tension: If the shock absorber is not properly tensioned, it may result in suboptimal performance during mooring maneuvers.
Contact in Case of Issues
If you notice a manufacturing defect or damage to the mooring line shock absorber, contact the manufacturer or point of sale. Do not attempt to modify the product yourself, as this may affect its effectiveness and safety.
