Gen3 Marine Boat Fender 8.5 Inch x 27 Inch Black Cylindrical Fender

The Gen3 Marine cylindrical boat fender measures 8.5 inches by 27 inches and provides a protective buffer between your hull and the dock or neighboring vessels. Its cylindrical shape allows it to roll along a piling or dock edge, absorbing impact and reducing scuffing and paint damage during docking, rafting, and mooring. Finished in black, it works with a wide range of hull colors without drawing attention to itself. At 5.6 pounds, it is substantial enough to hold its position along the hull while remaining manageable to hang, adjust, and stow. This fender is suited for boats that need reliable side protection at the dock, whether used singly at a bow or stern point or in a set spaced along the length of the hull. Owners typically rig it with a fender line through the end eyelets so it hangs at the correct height for their gunwale, and it can be moved from side to side as docking conditions change.
