Useful information
Use
Fenders are designed to protect your boat from damage when moored. They are a cushioning device which should be placed between your boat and a pontoon or between both boats if rafting.
They should be attached to something solid on your boat. Attaching a fender to the lowest point on you boat, such as a cleat or the base of a stanchion will reduce the amount it swings.
Inflation
Fenders should be inflated to the correct pressure to be effective. At 20°C/68°F pressure should be 0.15bar/2psi. Pressure should be reduced by 0.05bar in hot weather.

Measuring a Superyacht fender for fender covers
We need 3 measurements and a photo of existing fenders would help. Overall length, length of side seam, diameter.
- Fully inflate the fender
- Lay the fender down between 2 straight edges (cardboard boxes will do)
- Measure the gap between the boxes to give overall length
- Measure the side seam of the fender
- Place boxes either side of fender and measure gap to give diameter
