Foam pads offer a cleaner look while still providing effective cushioning. Rope Bumpers: Rustic and Nautical For a more classic look, use thick marine rope to create bumpers: 1.Coil or Braid: Coil or braid the rope for thickness. 2.Secure: Knot the ends and tie the rope to your dock. Rope bumpers add a stylish touch to your dock while offering reliable protection. Combine with Boat Lift Smartphone App for Seamless Docking For even smoother docking, combine your DIY bumpers with a boat lift smartphone app like Lift Mate. The app allows you to control your boat lift remotely, ensuring it’s in the perfect position when you arrive at the dock. With the boat lift remote app, you can operate your boat lift from your phone via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, making the process effortless and quick. Having a boat lift Wi-Fi remote means you can control your lift from anywhere, so you don’t have to worry about waiting for your boat lift to adjust. With real- time notifications and secure remote access, docking has never been easier. Conclusion: Protecting your boat doesn’t need to cost a fortune.
