Taylor Made Dock Products is one of the most prolific manufacturers of dock bumpers and fenders. One of their most simple, yet effective, products is the Perimeter Fender. This bumper has a polyester lining and a foamy, cushioned inside to absorb the shock when a boat bounces into the dock. This fender is available in five different sizes, with dimensions of 3" by 17" being the smallest size and 6" by 44" being the largest. Some bumpers and fenders are up to 12" in diameter and protect small yachts.
Dock wheels, which are mounted to docks, are also great protective devices. One of the most common causes of boat damage is the corner or side of the boat striking the dock as the boat is being parked. Sometimes mild collisions are unavoidable, but with a dock wheel, you can hit the dock at a low speed without denting the boat. There are inflatable dock wheels, glow-in-the-dark dock wheels, and various accessories, such as replacement mounts and wheels.
Some companies get creative with their dock bumpers and fenders. There are glow-in-the-dark fenders as well as mermaid fenders. No matter what style of boat you own or which type of bumper you want, the best online store for dock bumpers and fenders is Go2Marine.
