Abstract: A bumper piling attachment apparatus is provided for securing a cylindrical boat bumper to a piling of a dock and positioning the bumper between the dock and the moored boat. The apparatus forms a circumcolumnar attachment around a piling and rests on the deck of the dock. A flexible section is fixed between the boat and the dock and contains within the flexible section a cylindrical boat bumper. The cylindrical boat bumper absorbs the shock of the boat as it moves in relation to the dock. The apparatus may be fixed to the piling or easily detached and moved from dock to dock.
