It must be said that SlideMoor only
works when the boat is held TIGHT to the
SlideMoor and will not work any other way!
This product is used to control boat location
in a slip where tide or water level is prone to change.
On smaller boats it can be used to control boats in wavy conditions
along with tide changes.
Since SlideMoor
only works when the boat is held TIGHT to the
SlideMoor, the location of your
piling/track with regard to the cleats on your boat will be your
most important consideration. By holding the boat tight, all lines
will be on ONE side of the boat with no need for any lines other
than the line you use on the SlideMoor.
You may need to add a cleat to your boat directly in line with the
piling/track OR add or move a piling to be directly in line with the
cleat on your boat. (see fig 1.1)
The time and expense to do this correctly will be rewarded with the
many benefits of the SlideMoor
system.

At times unnecessary pilings can
be removed from one side of your mooring as is the case with outer
pilings. These pilings can be used to correct the line-up problems
stated above. This also gives more room to
maneuver in your docking area when these pilings are out of the way.
If adding a cleat to your boat, be sure it is attached properly. If
your are not sure how to attach a cleat,
have it done by a qualified technician.
