Basically it is waves that roll under the aft of the boat and slap against the bottom, right behind the transom. It depends on the boat, but on ours the slap of even small waves can make for a tough night to get any sleep if you sleep in aft like we do. Because of that, I bought one and gave it a try. It works extremely well, and do recommend one if transom slap is a problem. I use it when anchored or when moored and facing away from the prevailing surge. Bought mine here.

It may be a LOT less expensive
to buy a couple of pool noodles and tie them on with some line. Plus, you get a choice of color!

Pool noodles?
How does that work?
Do you drop them in the water near the stern to form a ring?
Thanks,

1. Buy pool noodles after
2. agreeing on the color with the admiral
3. Determine how much line you need
4. run line through center of pool noodle(s)
5. tie lines to stern cleats
6. sleep quietly
