The U-Cleat Mooring snubber features a removable locking mechanism. The U-Cleat can easily be repositioned after fitting, transferred to another line, or fitted to a line with eye splices or thimbles on both ends. Built in strong ribbed EPDM Rubber, provides the easiest and cushioned mooring, avoids damages to ropes and cleats, while extending your boat's life. The length of the compensating movement can be varied by winding the line a different number of turns around the compensator (never more than 3): more turns, more compensating.
