Common Concerns Answered
Will these fenders stay in place during rough seas?
The ribbed texture provides increased friction against the hull and dock, and the included lines can be secured with appropriate cleating for stability. Proper inflation to 15 PSI is crucial for optimal performance and positioning.
Are these fenders suitable for saltwater environments?
Yes, these fenders are constructed from a marine-grade polymer specifically engineered to withstand UV exposure and saltwater corrosion, ensuring longevity in marine applications.
Can I over-inflate these fenders?
It is recommended to inflate fenders to a maximum of 15 PSI. Over-inflation can stress the material and reduce its shock-absorbing capabilities, diminishing their protective function.
