Seachoice Fenders

Shop Seachoice Boat Fenders

Protect your hull at the dock, on the mooring, and while rafting up with Seachoice boat fenders. This collection includes Seachoice fenders in popular sizes and styles, along with fender locks to help keep them properly positioned, for fishing boats, pontoons, center consoles, runabouts, cruisers, and other recreational vessels.

Wind, wake, current, and boat movement can push your hull into pilings, seawalls, floating docks, or neighboring boats. Keeping the right number and size of Seachoice fenders on board – such as a twin eye fender or twin eye ribbed fender – helps cushion contact points and makes docking safer and less stressful.

What Seachoice Fender Products Are Available?

This collection covers fenders and fender accessories for a range of boat sizes and docking situations:

• Seachoice boat fenders in popular sizes and shapes
• Seachoice twin eye fenders for vertical or horizontal hanging
• Seachoice twin eye ribbed fenders for added grip and hull contact
• Seachoice fender locks for securing fenders in place along the rail or lifeline

How to Choose Seachoice Fenders

Size and Position for Your Boat

Fender size should be matched to your boat's length and freeboard height, with larger or heavier boats generally needing larger fenders for adequate protection. Twin eye fenders can be rigged vertically or horizontally depending on your dock height, boat style, and where contact is most likely to occur.

Consider a Ribbed Fender for Extra Grip

A Seachoice twin eye ribbed fender adds raised ribbing along the surface, which can help the fender stay in place against the hull and resist slipping compared to a smooth fender, particularly in choppy conditions or busy marinas.

Keep Fenders Secured with a Fender Lock

A Seachoice fender lock attaches to your rail or lifeline and holds the fender's hanging line at a set height, preventing it from sliding out of position as your boat moves. This is a practical addition if you frequently reposition fenders or want a cleaner, more consistent setup at the dock.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size fender do I need for my boat?

Fender size generally depends on your boat's length and freeboard. Smaller boats typically use smaller fenders, while larger or heavier boats need bigger fenders to provide adequate cushioning against docks and pilings.

Should I hang fenders vertically or horizontally?

This depends on your dock setup. Vertical hanging is common at fixed docks and pilings, while horizontal hanging is often used at floating docks or when rafting alongside another boat, where contact may occur along a longer stretch of the hull.

What's the difference between a twin eye fender and a twin eye ribbed fender?

Both have an eye at each end for hanging in either orientation. A ribbed fender adds raised surface ribbing, which can help it grip and stay positioned against the hull more securely than a smooth twin eye fender.

What does a fender lock do?

A fender lock clamps onto your rail or lifeline and holds the fender's line at a fixed point, keeping the fender from sliding up, down, or out of position as the boat moves at the dock.

How many fenders should I keep on board?

Many boaters keep at least two to four fenders on board, with extras useful when docking at unfamiliar marinas, rafting with other boats, or facing changing wind and current conditions.
