I love my sidekicks!! My 38 Sundancer and I really appreciate them on those quick stormy day returns with winds of 20 miles an hour!

June 6, 2023I use my pontoon for fishing and had issues getting it in and out of the slip without damaging my rail mounted downriggers and other rail mouted fishing accessories. I... read more scoured the internet and Amazon trying to find a "roller" solution but came up with nothing that would work for my dock. A friend told me about Joe and Sidekick Concepts. His dock rollers are totally custom, well engineered, and very sturdy. They were the perfect answer for my needs. In addition, Joe is great to work with and really knows how to design and build the perfect solution for your needs. I now have no issues as the rollers guide me in and out of my dock slip without hanging any of my fishing accessories on the posts. Since they roll with the boat, they are also very gentle on the pontoon rub rail. Whether you have a simple or complex need, I'm sure that Joe can design a great solution for you... He sure did for me! ---> EDIT 6/20/23 - I added three pictures of the empty slip both before (with the mess I was trying to use) and after the Sidekick installation.

After seeing these on our friends boat... read more slip we knew we had to have them. Knowing accidents happen and the weather changes fast this was a no brainer! First time parking out boat after the side kicks were installed the wind was blowing hard and we had a huge wave from a surf boat, these bad boys saved our boat from major damage. This is a must for every boat slip, amazing quality project made in America!

June 21, 2023Met Joe at the Knoxville Boat Show and saw the Sidekick bumpers on display. Had been looking for that type of bumper for over a year! We ordered... read more a pair and got them installed as soon as we received them. What a relief to have robust protection from the dock corners. Shortly after installing, we ordered a second pair.for our fishing boat. No more stressful docking! Thanks Joe!

June 30, 2023These Sidekicks, are by far the best product I have bought for my boat since I've owned it! With over 100k invested in a boat, I want anything that's going... read more to protect my boat from Hull, and deck damage! Sidekicks have proven to do just that! I've witnessed, at our own marina, when currents are rough, or high winds, boats being damaged while docking, also damaging the dock! Sidekicks are a savior! I can also tell you that a lot of thought has gone into the design of the Sidekicks, from powder coating, high quality steel, bumpers, and laser cut logo! They make Sidekicks to fit almost every dock, if you have a dock, they can help you! They are made by one of the top welders in the business! I highly recommend Sidekicks, I myself have front and rear sets to make docking easier for my SeaRay 340 Sundancer! Thank you Sidekicks! And I can't say enough about the great customer support from Joe and Jerry Miller! Owner and operators!

June 30, 2023We have a great ski/surf area in front of our house and have had a difficult time docking with the big waves and winds. I was looking at "dock... read more wheels" and was planning on installing them when we met Joe at the boat show. As soon as I saw the "Sidekicks", I knew that's what I needed. These bumpers are heavy duty and large enough to protect the boat. We've gone from a high stress docking that required at least two people, to an very relaxing docking that only needs the captain. I know these are saving scratches and injuries and I highly recommend them to owners with similar concerns and conditions. These are quality units and worth the money for us.

“The SK1 bumpers have saved me countless dollars on boat and dock repairs! The first season I got them installed, my son was backing the boat into the slip and hit the bumper very hard! Too my surprise, not even a scuff! Do yourself a favor and order a set for your slip!”
Eric Zimmerman
“If you are a boat owner and dock at a local marina, the SK1 bumpers are a must! My husband had them installed right away after a bad storm caused damage to our hull from slamming into the dock. The bumpers have kept our boat safe after numerous storms!”
