No idea mate. Try Whitworths Marine, not sure of their number. Just google them or try white pages. They should be able to help.

Jetty poles?
Does anyone know what those like springer poles/rods, that people use on a fixed jetty to keep your boat off/out abit from bumping or getting caught under the jetty when you tie up?
Where would I buy them new or 2nd hand? and a rough price?

Made by Reelax if my memory serves me correctly. They are just a version of game poles. Try www.reelax.com.au
mooring whips I think they are
At $907, is that each or is that for a a pair, for the small ones, might be worth asking about any shopsoiled stock?

What could go wrong.......................
Geez I don't know but could you try some rope past down the middle of some stiff thick black 3/4 inch polythene pipe. Tie the rope off so the pipe has a bend in it, (give it some spring) That might take the shock and compression just as well as any 900 dollar set up.
Far out.... was thinkin maybe up for 2 or 300. would be better to get a new jetty.
Thanks guys anyway.
What about a peice of pole at either end of a shick absorber?
That way you have shock loading prevention and eyelets at either end so it has up/down movement. Just a though.
Roughasguts sure lives up to his name.
So instead of 1800 to 2000 for whips what about a cheap, second hand short pontoon between the jetty and the boat.
Then get some 100 or 150 stormwater PVC and instal it as piles on the outer edge of the jetty and water drill it into the sand / clay or whatever is below the jetty.
When its down a meter or so fill the "piles" with those dry bags of ready to go concrete.
The pontoon goes up and down against the piles and the boat is secure on the pontoon with appropriately spaced fenders. Pontoons with fenders are a lot easier on boats.
There you go; this weekends project and even without the pontoon the pvc is a lot easier on the boat too.
Have fun

Hope you!!!! have a sence of humour.
fenders work a treat..cheap and efficient
G'day
there's nothing wrong with 2 or 3 fenders in conjunction with correctly adjusted bow and stern ropes, and of course a fore and aft springer

These guys have them as well.

I just use 3 fenders and three ropes on my 25'. Not the best but does the job, if I know there is going to be really strong winds I put the boat on the mooring.
