ABSTRACT:
A bumper and sling arrangement assists a user to dock his or her boat to a dock or the like by allowing the user to set-up the sling in slack condition between moorings on the boat and dock, and then allowing the user to tighten the slackness out of the sling until the boat is pulled into the dock. The bumper is suspended from the sling in between the boat and dock. As the sling is tightened, the bumper is compressed between the boat and dock in order to constrain relative movement between the boat and dock to practically eliminate such relative movement, as well as, simultaneously, to cushion what relative movement that cannot be eliminated.
