Boating 101: DEFENSE is Key

Published: Monday, December 13, 2021 10:00 am

You apply defensive actions to many aspects of your life, but do you think defensively when you’re boating? You can’t rely on other boaters to know boating laws, nor can you always count on them to be courteous boaters. When you’re rafting up with friends and “that guy” comes by too close and too fast, practice good defense and protect your boat with the most effective bumpers on the market: inflatable bumpers from Big Bumper Company.

Traditional bumpers are too small to provide adequate separation between your boat and the dock or another boat, and their small size concentrates the load to a limited area. Big Bumpers are made from PVC, which is flexible and soft on surfaces, meaning that scratches due to rubbing are minimized. Available in 18” and 24” diameters and 2, 4, 6, and 12-foot lengths, their size provides better coverage, separation, and impact absorption.

What’s better than this incredibly effective, INFLATABLE boat bumper? A bumper that DEFLATES and takes up less space on your boat.

No matter how big your boat is, there’s one thing that every boat owner can agree on—there is never enough storage! Big Bumpers not only protect your boat better but also save space versus traditional bumpers. It’s a detail that most people don’t think of when they see that BIG inflated bumper, and it often leads observers to question, “Yeah, but what do you do with it when you’re not using it?” The answer is simple, “DEFLATE IT and put it away!”
