Handy for your pontoon?

Saw this bolted to a pontoon, thought it was a great idea for small boat single handers.

Yes I have seen then on the end of a finger mooring which allows the boat to swing into their mooring without damage from the sharp of the finger

Also at the at the walkway end corner.

First time I've seen one at the inboard end, thought it was quite neat. That outboard one is a good idea too.

From memory seen in Italy...

Had the marina provided that (ie all/most fingers had it) or had the owner? Is it better than a fender?

Owner made. Noticed them when I came back in at lunchtime. The boat is a small yacht and I guess the owner sails alone. He has another on the main pontoon to protect his starboard bow. Neat and simple.

The trouble with adding wheels to pontoons is that it makes it very easy for thieves to put them on their sides and wheel them off.

If you are offered a wheeled pontoon for a suspiciously low price down some dark alleyway, just be aware of this growing menace to society.

Seen a number of times in Northern Spain, I think one of the main manufacturers is located there.

Could have done with one on my boat as the idiot next to me liked to ram me on the way in and out and as I was not on board most of the time I only got to see the results. My solution was to change berths.
