Aamstrand Fender Line 3/8 Inch x 8 Foot, 2-Pack Boat Fender Whip

This Aamstrand fender line is a pre-cut boat fender whip measuring 3/8 inch in diameter and 8 feet in length, sold as a pack of two lines in a single bag. Fender lines like this are used to hang boat fenders from the rail or cleats at a consistent, adjustable height so the fender protects the hull against docks, pilings, and neighboring vessels. Having two lines in one package makes it convenient to rig fenders on both sides of the boat, or to keep a matched spare on hand for a fender that needs to be re-hung or replaced.

Each line is sized to work with standard boat fenders and is long enough to be tied off at the rail, run through the fender's eye, and adjusted to the desired hang height, with excess line trimmed or coiled as needed. The 3/8 inch diameter is a common size for fender whips, giving a good balance of grip and strength for hand-tying knots such as a clove hitch or a simple loop-and-hitch at the fender eye.
