Davis Instruments Fender Tender II Fender Clip, White

The Davis Instruments Fender Tender II is a boat fender clip that lets you attach and reposition fenders quickly along rails, lifelines, side wing windows, or cleats without retying knots. Its "Railing Lock" jaw firmly grips rails from 7/8 inch to 1 inch (22 to 25 mm) in diameter, so it clamps securely to the most common boat rail sizes without slipping. A newer "Lifeline Lock" feature adds a second attachment method for 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch (6 mm to 9 mm) diameter nylon line, giving an added measure of security when fenders are hung from lifelines rather than solid rails. This makes the Fender Tender II versatile across different boat layouts, whether fenders need to hang from tubular rail, a lifeline run, or a fixed cleat.

The clip body is molded from tough, sun-resistant plastic designed to hold up to repeated UV exposure, saltwater spray, and the wear of regular docking and undocking. Because it is a mechanical clip rather than a knot or tie-down, fenders can be moved from one position to another in seconds, which is useful when switching sides at a slip, rafting up alongside another boat, or adjusting fender height for a different dock. The Fender Tender II ships in white and is sold as an individual clip.
