Works reliably, but resists after about 2-3 years at the head

I hope they last longer than the old ones.
Leave black marks to deck
As said, if it touches the deck it leaves black marks to gelcoat.

Prone to failure!
Over 18 months of use in the Med, we experienced three times a broken compensator, despite proper installation and non-extreme conditions.
Not a good performance, will not buy again (although SVB promptly and professionally replaced the broken ones so far).

Broke after less than one year of use
This compensator is surely useful but broke after less than one year of use, in non-extreme conditions. Disappointing.

I was three years old with three turns in sheltered waters on a 14 ton boat for two years, then they disintegrated. Now the size four under the same conditions, I hope you keep longer.

Don't hold when you need them
I have used these dampers for decades. As long as the marina is protected, everything is fine - but beware if things get serious. Because of strong winds or waves in the harbor. I broke 5 of them within a short space of time. After the first 2 mistakes, I converted the rest to just 2, then just 1 wrap - didn't help. Still broke.

To this day, Forsheda has not given me an answer as to what the problem could have been. In any case, I was assured that the expiration date is irrelevant. So why is it on the date?

Since the parts are difficult to install and even more difficult to remove from the rope, I will not use them in future.

not strong enough
Hello,

I am located in Port Camargue at the entrance to the port and therefore subject to small currents but a lot of west wind coming on the port side. The boat, a 40-foot SW, took a 45 kt wind. Unfortunately one of the ends of the shock absorber gave way. That is to say that the passage of the hawser at the front end of the shock absorber (two passages in the proposed holes) broke by tearing. Fortunately, I had doubled the mooring lines. I am perhaps in the case of a defect in this shock absorber? I will look at the one on the starboard side. In any case, I am disappointed and I must think about finding a solution. Very sorry for this purchase. Marc

Expiration date not mentioned in the description
One star for the fact that in the product description it doesn't seem to be clearly indicated that the product has an expiration date or at least this is stamped on the rubber.
In this specific case, the expiry date is 2026.
I don't know what the production date is, but I expect customer service to let me know as soon as possible to understand how long the product has been in stock.

For what ?
Very bad quality. With me it only lasted 3 days. Thank you SVB that you have easily refunded the amount.

After almost two months of use in the range provided by the technical sheet, both were broken.
