It attaches to any fender with eyelets and lets you quickly set fender height along a rail, stanchion, or cleat, then fine-tune it by tightening or loosening the strap. The built-in shock absorber stretches to receive the impact when fenders get squeezed between the hull and the dock or another boat, so the strap gives instead of your rail, cleat, or stanchion bending under the pull. This same give also protects fender eyelets from tearing, which is the usual failure point of a plain fender line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe strap is made from UV-resistant nylon webbing sewn directly over marine-grade elastomer, so the stretch is built into the webbing itself rather than a separate cord. A sturdy marine-grade nylon buckle lets you attach and adjust the fender in seconds, and the strap adjusts from 16 to 72 inches (0.4 to 1.8 m) to fit most boats, houseboats, and pontoons. Because it holds a slight amount of tension at all times, it also helps keep the fender in place during docking, surges, and wake action while the boat is unattended. This is the Twin-Eye version, designed for fenders with eyelets at both ends; a Center-Tube version is sold separately as a different item for fenders without twin eyelets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Davis Instruments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2450\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Twin-Eye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e UV-resistant nylon webbing sewn over marine-grade elastomer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nylon buckle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 to 72 inches (0.4 to 1.8 meters)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShock Absorber Stretch:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 inches (30 centimeters)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.44 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 011698010714\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e One Twin-Eye FenderFriend with black webbing and buckle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Davis Instruments FenderFriend Twin-Eye used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a fender whip, adjuster, and hanger in one, attaching to a fender with eyelets and using a built-in Shockles shock absorber to cushion impacts as the fender rubs against the hull or dock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size fenders does the FenderFriend Twin-Eye fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The strap adjusts from 16 to 72 inches (0.4 to 1.8 meters), which covers most boats, houseboats, and pontoons;
