Taylor Made Mooring & Fishing Buoys

Taylor Made Sur-Moor Mooring & Fishing Buoys

Taylor Made has built a reputation as one of the most trusted names in marine equipment, and nowhere is that reputation more evident than in their lineup of mooring and fishing buoys. Since 1908, Taylor Made has been a cornerstone of the marine industry, evolving from a canvas product manufacturer to a leading innovator in boat accessories. Today, their Sur-Moor line of mooring buoys represents the gold standard in permanent mooring solutions for marinas, municipalities, private harbors, and serious boaters alike.

The Sur-Moor Line: Engineering Built for the Elements

What sets Taylor Made buoys apart from the competition starts with their construction. They are designed to withstand the harshest marine environments, providing reliable flotation and long-term durability — constructed with a tough, one-piece polyethylene shell filled with closed-cell foam, ensuring they positively displace water and remain buoyant. This combination of hard-shell integrity and foam-filled core means the buoy keeps doing its job even if the outer shell is ever compromised.

Taylor Made's Sur-Moor family covers several distinct configurations to suit different mooring setups:

• Sur-Moor T3C Mooring Buoy: These buoys feature a seamless, hard-skin polyethylene shell with ultraviolet light absorbers for long-term life under the sun. The tube-through-center design allows the anchor chain to pass directly through the buoy, making it easy to attach to your boat.
• Sur-Moor Recessed Shackle Buoy: Designed with a built-in cup shape at the top, these buoys allow the anchor shackle to nest below the buoy surface, protecting your boat hull.
• Sur-Moor Taper Buoy: These buoys have a design that places more flotation area at the waterline, enhancing visibility.
• Traditional Sur-Moor Mooring Buoy: A shaft passes through the buoy's center, holding together top and bottom with galvanized steel rings — a time-tested design that delivers straightforward reliability in classic mooring setups.

Visibility, Finish, and Warranty

Safety details matter when a buoy is marking a permanent mooring in a busy anchorage. Hard-skin shells feature ultraviolet light absorbers for long-term life under the sun and have a sandblasted finish which allows the buoy to be easily painted for identification. The blue stripe is reflective for nighttime visibility — a critical feature for boaters returning to their mooring after dark. Backing up their build quality, Taylor Made offers a three-year flotation warranty on all hard-skin buoys.
