Abstract
A bow stop is an apparatus that safely aids in the docking of a boat. The apparatus includes at least tone length-adjustable stopper assembly. The at least one length-adjustable stopper assembly includes a telescopic bar, a stopper tube, a bungee cord, a first cradle mount, and a second cradle mount. The telescopic bar adjusts to the length of a boat. The stopper tube presses against the front of the bow. The bungee cord retracts the stopper tube into a neutral position. The first cradle mount and the second cradle mount secure the telescopic bar, and consequently the stopper tube and the bungee cord with the cradle mount. In a preferred embodiment, the at least one length-adjustable stopper assembly is a left length-adjustable stopper assembly and a right length-adjustable stopper assembly. The preferred embodiment further includes a length-adjustable cable, connecting the left length-adjustable stopper assembly with the right length-adjustable stopper assembly.
