Taylor Made Dock Post Bumper 45600, White, 7 x 17 Inch Vinyl Post Cushion with Inflation Valve
The Taylor Made Dock Post Bumper (part number 45600) is a white vinyl cushion built to protect boat hulls from impact and abrasion against dock pilings. It slides directly over a 1.5 inch dock pipe, giving the post a soft, forgiving surface so hull gelcoat and paint stay free of scuffs and dings when a boat comes alongside or shifts with wave action and wind.
The bumper body is made from marine grade vinyl, chosen for its resistance to UV exposure, saltwater, and repeated flexing without cracking or splitting. An inflation valve is built into the bumper so owners can adjust internal air pressure to set the firmness that best suits their boat size and dock conditions -- firmer for larger vessels and heavier impacts, softer for smaller boats. At 7 inches in diameter and 17 inches long, it covers a substantial section of post height, and the white finish is a neutral match for most dock and hull colors. The bumper is manufactured in the USA.
This bumper fits over a standard 1.5 inch diameter dock pipe. For other post colors, Taylor Made also offers this same bumper style in additional finishes under separate part numbers.
