Dock pole bumper assembly

A dock pole bumper assembly for securing a boat to a dock pole, comprising:

• a stationary portion adapted for secure attachment to a dock pole, said stationary portion comprising an I-beam shaped track member having a discrete length for extending along said dock pole above a water surface and below a water surface:
• a movable portion slidably engaged and movable along the stationary portion, said movable portion carrying a resilient deformable bumper member having a contact surface for contacting a hull of a boat moored to the dock pole, and means carried by a non-contacting surface of the movable portion for securing a mooring line of a boat to the movable portion, said track member having a first transverse flange adapted to be securely attached to a dock pole, and a second transverse flange forming a track along which the movable portion travels in response to a wave motion;
• wherein said movable portion comprises a rigid member provided with a guide channel for receiving at least said second flange therein, and wherein an insert is fitted in said guide channel, said insert having a friction-resistant exterior surface to facilitate sliding movement of the movable portion along said transverse second flange.
