Traditional round fenders protect hulls fairly well, but not gunwales. Ski boats, bass boats and runabouts with step-down gunwales are especially vulnerable to damage from docks.

It is constructed of incredibly durable tri-laminate material with polycarbonate grommets. It stows conveniently under seats or inside storage compartments..
