Common Concerns Answered
Is the SeaDek 36" Routed Ruler a legal measuring device?
No, this product is designed for convenience and onboard reference only and is not certified as a legal measuring device for regulatory purposes.
Is the initial cost of the SeaDek ruler justified compared to adhesive stickers?
The SeaDek ruler's higher initial cost is offset by its superior durability, permanent routed measurements that do not fade, and integrated non-skid surface, offering a long-term, high-performance solution compared to less resilient sticker alternatives.
Can the routed numbers on the SeaDek ruler fade or break down over time?
SeaDek's CNC routing process creates durable indentations for the measurement markings, ensuring they will not fade or break down, unlike printed graphics on vinyl stickers.
