Protection That Stays Where You Need It

Unlike some chafe guards that are attached or wrapped on lines , No-Wear Guard Chafe Guards are installed in place and stay there.

Never worry about mooring, anchor, or fender lines moving your chafe guards away from what they’re protecting. No-Wear Guard’s high strength adhesive will keep it in place for years to come on almost any boating surface you have.

Installed in minutes, protection for years.

Rubbing & Abrasion

Without protection, wood, fiberglass, plastic, and gelcoat surfaces can be damaged over time. This can damage the surface of your vessel leading to unsightly scratches, gouges, and cuts that can be more than cosmetic.

Vessel damage can come from:

  • Lines & sheets (impacting topsides and head foils)

  • Dock, anchor, and mooring lines

  • Fishing poles and related equipment

  • Foot traffic in high use areas such as cockpits and entry / exit points

If left untreated the damage can be more than an eyesore. Repairs to fiberglass, wood, and other surfaces and time consuming and expensive.

Stop the problem before it begins. Install a No-Wear Chafe Guard today.
