Shop Specialty Fenders at West Marine
West Marine offers a variety of fenders to protect boats against damage that can occur in anchoring and docking situations. Common among these fenders are cylindrically-shaped models that meet the needs of most, but not all boats. We say "most, but not all", because there are situations where cylindrical fenders provide little or no protection. For this reason, West Marine offers a number of specialty fenders for applications where cylindrical fenders don't work. Following are a few examples of specialty fenders offered by West Marine.
Pontoon Boat Fenders
Made from marine-grade, UV-resistant vinyl, Taylor Made® Pontoon Boat fenders are uniquely shaped to fit between the pontoon and the deck where they protect the edge of the pontoon boat's deck and the pontoon itself.
Pontoon Boat Corner Fenders
Without protection, the exposed corners of pontoon boats beg to get crunched. Taylor Made® Pontoon boat corner fenders are shaped to fit the 90° corner of pontoon boat decks where they provide air-cushioning impact protection when docking.
PWC Fenders
Engineered specifically for PWCs, Hull Hugr’s PWC Fenders hinge in the center to better protect PWC bodies from docks.
Inflatable Boat Fenders
Made of closed cell polyethylene foam, Plastimo’s Inflatable Boat Fenders are UV and hydrocarbon resistant and boast a curved shape that fits RIB or inflatable tender tubes.
Contoured Fenders
Ski boats, bass boats and runabouts with step-down gunwales are especially vulnerable to damage from docks. Hull Hugr’s Contoured Fenders hinge to wrap around the gunwale and hull, following the contours of the boat.
Transom Fenders
Taylor Made Transom Fenders are specifically designed to protect your sailboat transom or swim step. Taylor Made® Transom Fenders are uniquely shaped to fit the stern of a sailboat or the edge of most swim platforms.
Fender Ladders and Steps
Unlike conventional fenders, fender Taylor Made® Fender Ladders and Steps serve the dual purposes of protecting boat hulls and provide a means to easily climb aboard your boat.
Mermaid Fenders
While Taylor Made® Mermaid Fenders serve to protect boat hulls, they also cater to the whimsy of boaters who use them.
