The snubber reduces the sharp "bang" caused by severe wave action. The boat can handle the impact but the dock gets damaged.

Test the value of a snubber. Try lying down in the birth of a boat with a snubber and then without if. Have someone gently push the boat away from the dock. You will not believe the difference.

I got my snubbers and snubber lines at Irwin's.
