Unimer Smart Snubber Mooring Compensator for 16–20mm Lines
Compact, high-strength mooring protection for larger yachts
The Unimer Smart Snubber Mooring Compensator for 16–20mm lines provides fast, flexible shock absorption for larger yachts and motorboats. Compact yet highly effective, it attaches directly onto your mooring line in seconds — no knots, tools, or free rope ends required. Designed for simplicity and portability, it delivers reliable damping performance wherever you berth.
Quick to fit, strong in performance
Constructed from high-strength, UV-resistant thermoplastic, the Smart Snubber is engineered for long-term durability in marine conditions. It clips easily onto the rope, absorbing movement and reducing strain on cleats, bollards, and mooring lines caused by waves, gusts, or surge. One Smart Snubber provides effective damping for moderate conditions, while fitting two in parallel on the same line significantly enhances energy absorption — making it ideal even for more exposed moorings.
Ideal for large yachts and motorboats
This 16–20mm model is designed for heavier mooring lines used on yachts and motorboats between 40 and 50 feet. It’s particularly useful for cruising owners who want an easily stored, quickly deployable mooring compensator that delivers serious protection without the bulk of traditional rubber models.
Compared to other Unimer models
Within the Unimer range, the Smart Snubber is the most compact and adaptable option:
- Installs in seconds with no tools or line re-rigging required.
- Two units can be used together for increased damping effect.
- The Standard, Inline, and Classic models are heavier-duty alternatives for permanent moorings.
- The U-Cleat provides similar quick-fit functionality in a traditional rubber construction.

Usage tip
For best performance, install two Smart Snubbers in parallel on the same mooring line.
This setup greatly improves the damping effect, offering energy absorption comparable to larger, fixed compensators.
