▸ Which size buoy will I need?
▾ Which size buoy will I need?
In order to select the right size buoy, you need to know how much buoyancy you'll need.
- If you need to float a 30 lb rope, you will want a buoy with a buoyancy of at least 30 lbs.
- Get the next size up if you are not sure. It's better to have a slightly bigger buoy than one that is too small for what you need.
