Sea-Dog Fendermate 327200-1 Nylon Fender Bracket for 7/8 to 1 Inch Rail and 1/4 to 5/16 Inch Line, White (Pair)
The Sea-Dog Fendermate 327200-1 is an adjustable fender bracket built to hold boat fenders securely at the correct height on rail or lifeline mounting. Made of marine grade reinforced injection molded nylon, the clamp body resists corrosion and UV breakdown better than metal hardware while still standing up to constant flexing and sun exposure at the dock or underway. It clamps directly onto 7/8 inch or 1 inch round tubing, or onto 3/16 inch or 1/4 inch lifeline wire, making it a fit for the most common railing and lifeline diameters found on recreational boats. A rope or line size of 1/4 inch to 5/16 inch runs through the bracket to suspend the fender.
The design uses a unique double locking action: the first lock clamps the bracket onto the rail or wire while still allowing the fender height to be freely adjusted up or down. Once the fender sits at the desired height, a second locking action clamps down on the rope quickly and securely, so the fender stays in place instead of sliding or slipping. This two-step process makes it fast to reposition fenders when docking on different sides or at different tide heights, without needing tools. Finished in white, the bracket is sold as a pair (two brackets) and each bracket weighs 0.272 pounds.
