Boat Finder Use
The tubular or cylinder shaped
boat finders I have in our dinghy can be used as a roller when you beech the
boat. When I put the bow to shore I do
not like the grinding sound when the boat hits land and I can just feel the
bottom paint being scraped off the hull.
The cylinder shaped finders make
good soft rollers that can be put under the bow to get the hull up off the
ground a few inches and they also act as rollers so you can pull the boat up on
shore more easily; they also help get it back in the water more easily.
You beech the boat, put a finder
under the bow and the boat rides up on the finder as you pull it onshore. Then
tie can tie the painter to a shore object or put out a land anchor so your boat
will not float away. I really hate having to swim out to get my dingy when it
slips away.
