Must-Have
Nauti-GLIDE
Mooring System.
KJM Applied Concepts
president, Ken Mahlich,
was tired of worrying
about his boat during
storms on Lake Erie and
decided to design a better
way to dock his boat.
The result is the all-new
Nauti-GLIDE Mooring
System, a patented boat
tie-up system that provides
safe and secure dock
tie-off for pleasure boats 20 to 60 feet.
“In the process I found that the Nauti-GLIDE made it
easier for my aging parents and my young kids to get on
and off our boat,” Mahlich says.
The system consists of a pair of marine-grade aluminum
glides with cleats that allows boats to safely weather the
ups and downs of changing water levels. The patented
glide design eliminates the need for dock line adjustments
due to changes in water level, while making the process of
tying off easier by being right where you need it.
