FAQ
What types of products does Taylor make?
Taylor offers more than 700 individual products in total, including dock boxes, mooring whips, protective fenders, flag poles, and dock guards — practical, durable gear genuinely useful for both individual boat owners and broader marina or dock maintenance operations across Canada. This range makes Taylor a practical one-stop brand for dock essentials.
What size dock box should I buy?
Proper dock box sizing really depends on your specific storage needs and the amount of gear you typically need to keep on hand — Taylor offers options ranging from compact triangle-style boxes all the way up to larger standard boxes like the 72-inch model for more extensive storage.
What are mooring whips used for?
Mooring whips are flexible, spring-loaded poles specifically designed to help hold a boat safely off the dock, meaningfully reducing rubbing and potential impact damage during regular mooring, which is especially useful in marinas experiencing tidal movement or heavy boat traffic throughout busy summer months. Many marinas recommend them as standard equipment for longer-term slips.
Are Taylor dock boxes weatherproof?
Yes, Taylor dock boxes are specifically designed to be genuinely weather-resistant, helping protect stored gear and equipment from rain, direct sun exposure, and general everyday outdoor conditions commonly encountered while a boat remains docked at a marina or private slip year-round. This durability makes them a solid long-term investment for any dock.
What length of mooring whip do I need for my boat?
Mooring whip length is typically matched directly to your specific boat size — for example, the 17 to 23-foot model generally suits smaller boats well, while longer whip options like the 23 to 28-foot or 33-foot models are better suited to handling larger, heavier vessels. Measuring your boat accurately beforehand helps ensure the best overall fit.
