Taylor Made Products Rail/Lifeline Fender Bracket, Fits 7/8 to 1 Inch Rails or 1/4 Inch Max Lifelines, Pair (Part 1097)

This Taylor Made Products fender bracket set lets you clamp a boat fender directly onto a rail or lifeline and adjust its hanging height in seconds. Each bracket uses a double-locking clamp design that grips 7/8 inch to 1 inch diameter railings or lifelines up to 1/4 inch in diameter, so the fender can be repositioned up or down without ever detaching it from the boat. That makes it easy to reset fender height on the fly when docking, rafting up, or moving between different height piers.

The bracket body is molded from durable nylon for corrosion resistance in a marine environment, with stainless steel fastener hardware for long-term durability. Installation is straightforward: feed the fender line through the hanger, clamp the bracket around the rail or lifeline, and pull the line to the desired height. Part number 1097 is sold as a pair (2 pieces), enough to hang one fender per side or two fenders along a single rail run.
