Taylor Made Sur-Moor T3C hard skin mooring buoys have a seamless and tough, one-piece polyethylene shell. Hard skin shells feature ultraviolet light absorbers for long-term life under the sun.
Sur Moor buoys are filled with EPS foam to positively displace water. The blue stripe is reflective for nighttime visibility. The flanged collar is made from rigid PVC tubing.
The anchor shackle is not included with this product. It may be purchased at a hardware or marine supply store. For the best performance, add the TC3 Mooring Collar to prevent the hardware from penetrating into the mooring ball under stress. Please see technical specifications for details and a link to the complementary product.

For maximum performance add the T3C Mooring Collar to best utilize the tube-through-the-center design of the T3C Buoy. The T3C Mooring Collar is a hot-dip galvanized steel collar that protects your T3C buoy from anchor chain wear, prolonging the life of the buoy.
Designed to work in combination with standard shackles.
Mooring collars are sized to slip into the top of 2" or 2-1/2" tube diameters.
The sole purpose of the mooring buoy is to support the mooring chain. The two preferred designs for mooring buoys are a traditional buoy with hardware or a buoy with a tube through the center. Both offer reliable flotation and will last for several seasons, depending upon the salinity of the water. Obviously, freshwater applications will extend the useful life of any mooring system.
A permanent mooring system, when properly designed, should securely position a boat so that it can be left unattended, with little attention, for long periods of time. Each system usually consists of a mooring buoy (to float the chain), a mooring anchor and a length of chain (running between the anchor and the mooring buoy). Also the proper ground tackle includes correct sized galvanized shackles and swivels.
Always keep in mind, that the mooring system is only as reliable as the current conditions of the environment. All Taylor Made Sur-Moor Buoys are built to withstand the constant abuse of most mooring environments.

Questions & Answers about Taylor Made Sur-Moor T3C Mooring Buoys:
2013-04-12A shopper asked: Re T3C mooring collar, would it be beneficial to glue the collar to the mooring ball with 3M 5200? Would this create another problem? John

2013-04-16PETER FRANKFORT: Hi John,
this is going to be my third season with the T3C and the collars are very well secured to the mooring ball. in fax. I am required to have a bow and stern mooring, and they have held up both equally as well.
2013-05-05STEVE PRESCESKY: I used a clevise on the chain below the ball to keep the collar tight into the ball. I don't see any reason why you couldn't glue it in place though.

2012-03-01JOHN ALLEN: No, you need to purchase the collar separately.
2012-03-23James Alexander: As far as i can tell the collar comes in 2" and 2 1/2" diameters. There is also a steel color that protects the buoy from chain wear at this point..
2012-01-14A shopper asked: 18" Mooring Bouy. What size mooring bouy collar? 2", 2.5", or 3"?
Comments about Taylor Made - Sur-Moor T3C Mooring Buoys:
I ordered this buoy to replace one whose hardware had rusted away. The ad/specifications were confusing as to whether or what hardware was included: "includes a ring for retrieval...", "only hardware included is a chain...". "no hardware is included...". It seemed inconceivable to me that there would be nothing on it, especially since there was no info telling how to order the necessary hardware separately. If I was going to purchase hardware from a marine supply store I might as well have picked up the whole thing there!
