ROCKER STOPPERS PUT BRAKES ON BOAT ROLL
Boat roll while at anchor or drift fishing is at the least, uncomfortable and at the most, nausea-inducing. Rocker Stoppers from Davis Instruments help dampen this annoying sensation with a simple, inexpensive device that is easily configured and installed.
Rope is strung through Rocker Stoppers at equal 18″ intervals with a 5-10 lb. weight attached at the bottom. Hanging amidships off each side of the boat, three Rocker Stoppers per side will steady boats up to 26′ long. For larger craft, a graduated scale of 4 to 8 units per side help stabilize boats from 27′ up to 50′. They are effective on both power and sailboats.
When used without a weight, Rocker Stoppers assist drift fishing by slowing movement substantially. They also are great to hang below the end of a floating dock to reduce swaying.
Only 14″ in diameter, Rocker Stoppers nest together neatly for inconspicuous storage. Mushroom anchors make good weights for use with these devices, as they fit nicely inside the last Rocker Stopper on the string when the stabilizers aren’t in use.
Lightweight and molded of high-impact, virtually indestructible styrene Rocker Stoppers are impervious to saltwater. They deploy and retrieve in seconds, and will not damage gunwales.
The suggested retail price of each Rocker Stopper is $12.99.
