How to hang boat fenders

Inflating, tying and positioning fenders for docking.

Harborwright sells the part only — we don't install it. These are general steps; your boat and the maker's manual come first. If you're not sure, have a marine shop fit it.

Steps

  1. Inflate each fender firm with the included pump and needle.
  2. Thread a rope through the center hole. They hang vertically or horizontally.
  3. Tie to a cleat or rail (a clove hitch is quick to adjust) so each fender sits where the hull would touch the dock.
  4. Bring them aboard once you're under way.

Follow the instructions that come in the box for your exact model first.
