For boats 20’ – 30’ in length.

Two eye cylindrical fenders have a molded-in fairlead or tab at each end. Comes with lines tied to one end. Hang the fender vertically or tie both ends for horizontal deployment.
 Each weighs about 3 lbs and measures 23”L (end to end, in case you wanted to get a navy nylon cover and leave the loop ends uncovered) x 7”W x 21”in circumference.

What they do:
Fenders act as a cushion between a boat and a dock (concrete, metal or wood) or another boat and prevent damage to your boat’s topsides.

How they work:
Fenders absorb the shock of vessels bumping into docks or other vessels. They insulate the boat from damage and decelerate it as it surges and rolls about. Boats that tie up to floating docks usually set fenders just above the waterline to maintain a buffer zone between dock and boat. Boats that raft together place the fenders at the point of contact where the beam is the widest. $30 firm
