TACO Marine Quick Release Fender Lock, Stainless Steel Type-316L, F16-0151-1

The TACO Marine Quick Release Fender Lock (F16-0151-1) gives boaters a fast, single-hand way to store fender lines at the dock while keeping fenders set at the correct, consistent length. Tie off a hanging fender with the fender line run through the 7/8 inch hole beside the push button, then insert the mounting pin into the fitting to secure it. To release, a single push of the button frees the pin for quick removal of float-style fenders.

Built from stainless steel Type-316L for corrosion resistance in a marine environment, the lock stands 1-19/32 inches above the deck once mounted and includes a 1/4 inch drain plug to keep water from pooling in the housing. The design is intended for float-style fenders and is well suited to boaters who want a cleaner, more consistent dockside setup without re-tying fender lines every time.
