Sur-Moor™ Traditional Mooring Buoy 18" The sole purpose of the mooring buoy is to support the mooring chain. The two preferred designs for mooring buoys are a traditional buoy with steel hardware or a buoy with a tube through the center. This model is a traditional style buoy which includes the hardware.
A permanent mooring system, when properly designed, should securely position a boat so that it can be left unattended, with little attention, for long periods of time. Each system usually consists of a mooring buoy (to float the chain), a mooring anchor, and a length of chain that runs between the anchor and the mooring buoy. Also, the proper ground tackle includes correct-sized galvanized shackles and swivels. Always keep in mind that the mooring system is only as reliable as the current conditions of the environment. All Taylor Made Sur-Moor™ Buoys are built to withstand the constant abuse of most mooring environments.
