Majoni Heavy Duty Mooring Buoy With Galvanised Rod

The Majoni Heavy Duty Mooring Buoy with Galvanised Rod is an orange soft-PVC mooring buoy available in 30, 40, 50 and 60 cm diameters. A fixed top eye provides an accessible pick-up point, while the swivelling lower eye connects to the mooring system and reduces line twist.

The high-visibility body is designed to remain gentle against the vessel while identifying the mooring position. Four sizes provide published internal volumes from 11 to 106 litres, allowing the buoy to be selected for the complete mooring arrangement rather than by diameter alone.

What Is the Majoni Rod Mooring Buoy Used For?

It marks and supports a permanent or semi-permanent mooring connection. The lower swivelling eye connects to the riser or mooring hardware, and the fixed upper eye provides a point for a pick-up line or handling connection.

What Is Included?

• One Majoni orange rod mooring buoy in the selected size
• Integral galvanised rod
• Fixed upper eye
• Swivelling lower eye

What Is Not Included?

• Mooring chain, rope or riser
• Ground tackle, sinker or anchor
• Shackles, swivels or connectors beyond the integral lower eye
• Pick-up line
• Mooring installation or inspection service

How Do I Select the Correct Size?

Size the buoy as one component of the complete mooring system. Consider the required reserve buoyancy, weight of the suspended chain or riser, tidal range, wave action, vessel size and local harbour requirements. Internal volume is useful for comparing models but is not the same as a certified working-load rating.

Connection and Compatibility

• Use marine-grade shackles and connectors compatible with the galvanised lower eye.
• Prevent dissimilar-metal combinations that can accelerate galvanic corrosion.
• Ensure the upper eye and pick-up arrangement cannot damage the vessel.
• Confirm local authority requirements for buoy colour, identification and placement.
• Have the complete mooring engineered or inspected where loads are uncertain.

Construction and Design

• High-visibility orange soft-PVC body
• Galvanised steel through-rod
• Fixed top eye for handling and pick-up line
• Swivelling lower eye to reduce twist
• Four diameter and volume options
• Smooth body reduces marking when it contacts the hull

Installation and Safety

The buoy must not be treated as the sole load-bearing element unless the complete system has been designed for that purpose. Use correctly rated mooring hardware, secure every threaded connector, and maintain sufficient clearance between the buoy, vessel, seabed and neighbouring moorings throughout the tidal range.

Maintenance

• Inspect the PVC body for cuts, abrasion and loss of inflation.
• Check the rod and eyes for corrosion, wear, bending and movement.
• Inspect shackles, swivels, chain and rope at the same time.
• Replace components showing significant section loss or distortion.
• Clean identification markings and confirm the buoy remains visible.

Key Features

• Four sizes from 30 to 60 cm diameter
• Published volumes from 11 to 106 litres
• High-visibility orange body
• Soft PVC surface is gentle against the hull
• Galvanised through-rod
• Fixed upper eye
• Swivelling lower eye
• Designed for anchoring and mooring applications

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I select a buoy using boat length alone?
No. The correct size depends on the complete mooring system, suspended hardware, reserve buoyancy, local conditions and authority requirements.

Is the lower eye fixed?
No. The lower eye swivels to help reduce twist in the mooring connection.

Is the top eye suitable for a pick-up line?
Yes, the fixed upper eye provides an accessible connection point, subject to using correctly sized rope and hardware.

Are shackles and mooring chain included?
No. The buoy is supplied without the external mooring hardware.

Does internal volume equal safe working load?
No. Volume is a physical specification. It is not a certified mooring-load or safe-working-load rating.

Specifications

Mooring loads are system-specific. Use correctly rated hardware and arrange professional advice or inspection where the required buoyancy and load path are uncertain.
