Big Bumper provides protection

Big Bumper

July 25, 2019

Protecting your boat from scratches and dents isn’t always easy. That’s why the Big Bumper Company worked for almost two years to develop a simple and inflatable bumper system. Lengths include 2, 4, 6, and 12 footers! And comes in 18 & 24 inch diameters!

These new bumpers offer a solution for these challenges:

. works as a permanent bumper on boat docks (easy to attach / remove)
. a remedy for boat to boat tie-ups – with easy storage onboard
. available in a variety of lengths and diameters
. black and grey colour options and constructed of reinforced pvc
. inflates & deflates quickly – two and 4-footers take 30 seconds or less; 12 footers a minute
. incorporates unique option of personalization on bumpers – can do it right on the website
. costs less than other inflatable bumpers of similar size

Because of the wide variety of boat hull designs, our bumpers needed to accommodate these variations …as well as different dock designs. For boat to boat tie-ups, the 2 and 4 footers can be used both horizontally and vertically!

Big BumperEach bumper comes packed in its own carton, with clearly marked size. And there is a 2-year warranty! For more information visit bigbumpercompany.com, or send a note to cal@bigbumpercompany.com

As I shift our chartered canal boat into neutral, I’m soothed by the soundtrack of bird calls, the occasional plaintive horn of a distant train and the hum of our engine.

I reach for the VHF to radio the lockmaster in charge of Erie Canal’s Lock 32 dead ahead. Our boat spins gently in the current like a maple key in a mud puddle.

“This is Onondaga,” I say. “Headed westbound and requesting passage.”
