Re: Magma Flopper Stopper Review

Rig two like we did, you'll be pleased with the results. Rolling at the anchorages never bothered me much, but Pam hated it. She's much happier now, but didn't like that I'd spent the money until...

Re: Magma Flopper Stopper Review

Yes. One does a very good job, two is better.

With only one stopper deployed, when a swell or wave hits us from the side, the boat will first dip/roll towards the stopper, then the roll is...

Re: Magma Flopper Stopper Review

I'd buy them again. It turns our boat into a catamaran in anchorages comfort wise. One thing it definitely supresses 100% is the annoying wakes produced by powerboats. I see even the cats bounce...

Re: Magma Flopper Stopper Review

Here's another review on the same Magma Flopper Stopper I made a few days before. On this video, I only had the one off the spinnaker pole deployed. Enjoy the view of...

Re: Magma Flopper Stopper Review

It's actually surprising how little pull there is on the rope leading to the stopper. I'd expected quite the force, but apparently it doesn't require much to stop the roll.

Re: Magma Flopper Stopper Review

Tom,

We tried hanging one off a bow cleat, and it didn't seem to work very well for preventing the front to back rocking, so we instead went with the spinnaker pole off the side at 90 degrees and...

Re: Magma Flopper Stopper Review

Here's another video on the same flopper stopper done by a fellow CF member out in California that inspired us to give them a try. It shows the Magma Stopper in action below the surface.

Re: Magma Flopper Stopper Review

I paid only $500 for TWO flopper stoppers with delivery to the nearest store included via Westmarine. https://www.westmarine.com/buy/magma--rock-n-roll-stabilizer-system--P005_153_010_500

Re: Magma Flopper Stopper Review

My one criticism would be on the storage bag that's included. It's worthless and ripped the first time I tried to use it ,and is nothing like what's on the package photo. I might have some good...

Re: Magma Flopper Stopper Review

It actually folds flat and is surprisingly small. 36 inches X 12 inches x 4 inches when folded if I remember correctly. We store both in the aft locker, but might consider lashing them to the...

Re: Magma Flopper Stopper Review

Totally and completely silent. All the rigging on the spinnaker pole and the boom is pulled tight, so no movement takes place except the opening and closing of the flopper stopper itself which is...

Magma Flopper Stopper Review

As promised, here's a brief review on the Magma Flopper Stoppers we started using four weeks ago. At most anchorages we set one flopper stopper off the boom which takes about five minutes and also...
