Consulting with topRik’s marine professionals, who provide advice based on the manufacturer guidelines, could help you in getting the most appropriate fender sizes and types for your boat – just send us a message when in doubt.
Figuring out the correct number of fenders is crucial for optimal protection, and, when it comes to this, both having too few or too many fenders might cause serious problems. Insufficient fenders can leave vulnerable areas of your yacht exposed to potential damage, while excessive fenders can clutter the docking area and impede maneuverability and speed – you don’t want to turn your yacht into a huge clumsy inflatable dinghy. To determine the perfect number, consider the size, weight distribution, and vulnerable sections of your boat – one fender for every 2.5 meters of the side’s length is a good rule of thumb.
In general, larger boats or those with irregular shapes may require more fenders than usual to ensure adequate protection. Other than that, make the decision based on the docking plan and potential contact areas during mooring: bow and stern areas, as well as corners of the hull, rubbing strakes, and protruding structures, are particularly vulnerable (and dangerous to other yachts) and require proper fender placement. Striking a fine balance between sufficient protection and practicality is key when determining the appropriate number of fenders for your boat.
Boat Fenders - All you need to know How to Tie a Fender
Improper placement is a mistake that can completely negate all the usefulness of even the most expensive protective device. Correct fender placement involves identifying the areas of your boat that are most susceptible to impact during docking or passing through a lock – it is usually the widest beam points, where maximum protection is needed. For some reason it is not rare to see a boat without any such protection in various marinas!
In addition to the beam points, again, consider placing fenders near potential contact areas, such as corners, edges, and areas prone to friction. Try to imagine your yacht crashing into a pier or another yacht – what parts would require repairs afterwards? The angle at which the fenders are placed also plays a role, they should be positioned vertically, perpendicular to the hull, to provide effective cushioning and impact absorption. Make sure that the fenders are securely fastened using proper attachment mechanisms, such as ropes, fender lines, or specialized fender hangers and learn some simple reliable knots, such as clove hitch, to tie them like a professional.
Different docking scenarios may require specific fender placements. For example, when mooring alongside a dock or pontoon, fenders should be positioned to protect the boat from rubbing against the structure.
On the other hand, when rafting with other vessels, fenders should be placed to prevent direct contact between boats. Understanding the specific docking situation and applying appropriate fender placement techniques will ensure maximum protection for your boat.
Neglecting to adjust the height of the fenders as the water level changes during high and low tides can also render them quite useless: when positioned too high or too low they fail to provide adequate cushioning, since the impact area changes place. That’s why it is important to adjust the fender height to match the changing water level based on local tide charts, that are a must have for every skipper. A quick draw device like this one might help at that:
During high tide, raise the fenders to a suitable position to accommodate for the increased water level - as the boat rises with the tide it will still be protected. Similarly, during low tide, adjust the fenders downward to align with the lower waterline. Doing this will prevent the fenders from being positioned too high above the boat, exposing the boat’s belly.
Let’s not forget about the importance of proper servicing - neglecting it might lead to premature rupturing, decreased performance, and overall compromised protection for your vessel. You don’t want a broken valve or to see your fender burst in a dangerous mooring situation – imagine that happening when going through chores like fender inspection, cleaning, and inflation checks – always works for us.
Regularly inspect your fenders for any signs of wear, tear, or damage, look for any leaks, cracks, or deflation, since these problems can significantly impact the fender's ability to protect your boat. If you notice any damage, consider repairing or replacing the fender completely before next trip – it is always cheaper to replace a fender than to pay an invoice for caused damages.
Don’t shy away from cleaning all your protection gear to remove dirt, grime, algae, salt deposits, or any other stuff that may accumulate over time. You can use regular soapy water and a soft brush to clean the fenders thoroughly, just rinse them well after that and allow them to dry completely before locking them in some storage place. By doing this you not only prevent buildup of substances that can deteriorate the material over time, but also improve the visual appeal of your boat.
How to Replace a Valve on Boat Fenders Guide: Boat Fenders Size
Controlling the inflation process is another critical aspect of fender maintenance – it is best to check the air pressure regularly and adjust it as needed to maintain optimal firmness, which might be tricky as the weather changes. Over-inflation might cause the fender to become too bouncy and less effective in terms of impact absorption, while under-inflation can reduce its protective capabilities. Refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for the recommended air pressure range specific to your fenders.
Taking the time to understand and address these common mistakes is no easy feat with all the problems that arise daily during a voyage. But think about it as protecting your investments – you got yourself a great yacht, you also got some nice fenders and it would be a shame if a completely avoidable accident happened just because you misplayed your cards! Fenders might not be the most exciting thing about boating, but they allow for excitement to happen.

Boat bumpers and fenders come in all sorts of different shapes and sizes. Not only are there cylinder fenders, but there are round ones, flat ones, and so many more types of fenders. By the end of this article, you will know absolutely everything about boat fenders and which ones you will need for your vessel.
First I’m going to talk about the three most popular fenders and then talk more about unique fenders later in the article.
Best all-around.
Commonly used on boats as they provide a large surface area and can still be stored quite easily.
These fenders can withstand a lot of force. So they’re best used for large boats and during docking.
Easily stored, but doesn’t have a large enough diameter to handle heavy or maneuvering boats.
Although these are the most used fenders, there are many more available on the market including:
Dock Wheel Bumper
Transom Fenders
Cushion Fenders
V-shaped Fenders
Fender Pads
Low Freeboard Fender
Pontoon Fenders
Dock Edging
Inflatable Fenders
Click on any of these to purchase them or continue reading to learn more about them.
Note: Most of the products I mention in this article are made by Taylor Made and sold on Amazon. They are a very proven company that has been making boat fenders and bumpers for over 100 years, and they generally have the highest review ratings compared to their competitors.
Table of Contents
Before we start talking more about specific fenders, let’s look at what size you need to get.
The general rule is 1″ of diameter for cylindrical fenders or 2″ of diameter for spherical fenders for every 5 feet of boat length. However, it’s never a bad idea to get a size larger than recommended, especially if you’re boat is in an area that gets a lot of storms, wind, waves, etc. which could cause it to bash against a dock.
Boat Length (ft) | Cylinder Fender Diameter (in) | Spherical Fender Diameter (in) | Flat fender Size |
---|---|---|---|
under 15′ | 3″ | 6″ | Small |
16′-20′ | 4″ | 8″ | Small |
21′-25′ | 5″ | 10″ | Medium |
26′-30′ | 6″ | 12″ | Medium |
31′-35′ | 7″ | 14″ | Medium |
36′-40′ | 8″ | 16″ | Large |
40′-50′ | 10″ | 20″ | Large |
51′-60′ | 12″ | 24″ | Large |
61′-70′ | 14″ | 26″ | Large |
Below I’ve listed all the different types of boat fenders. I’ve included pictures, pros and cons, and more about each one. Click on the fender you want to learn more about.
There are two different types of cylinder fenders including:
Double-eye cylinder fenders are usually smaller than center-hole fenders making them easy to store away and easy to use. They have a dual-hole system, allowing you to connect a rope to both sides of the fender.
These fenders are most popular with small to medium-sized boats, but they do make the large enough for large vessels as well.
Center-hole cylinder fenders can be used both on your boat and on your dock. You can easily tie them sideways on a dock or your boat without needing to connect multiple ropes to both sides of the fender. A downside to them is that they are bulky and hard to store.
I usually only recommend having one or two of these fenders on your boat to protect the largest surface area (generally the sides near the stern). And if you have a boat smaller than 30 feet, you probably won’t need one.
Boat type | My Recommended Fender(s) | Other Possible Fenders |
---|---|---|
Bass Boats | low freeboard fenders | cylinder fenders, fender pads, flat fenders |
Bowriders | cylinder fenders | Fender pads, flat fenders |
Pontoon Boats | pontoon fenders | cylinder fenders |
Jet Skis | cylinder fenders or fender pads | small spherical fenders |
Ski Boats | cylinder fenders or flat fenders | fender pads, low freeboard fenders |
Deep V Fishing Boats | cylinder fenders | fender pads, flat fenders |
Bay Boats | cylinder fenders or low freeboard fenders | fender pads |
Center console boats | cylinder fenders | spherical fenders, fender pads |
Sailboats | cylinder fenders | spherical fenders, flat fenders, transom fenders |
Cuddy cabins | cylinder fenders | spherical fenders, transom fenders |
Cabin Cruisers | cylinder fenders and spherical fenders | transom fenders |
Yachts | spherical fenders and inflatable fenders | cylinder fenders, v-shaped fenders, transom fenders |
Many boats, especially larger ones are best protected by multiple different types of fenders on the boat and on the dock. For example, Yachts can be protected by cylinder fenders and/or spherical fenders, but it’s always a good idea to also have dock bumpers such as inflatable fenders, V-shaped fenders, and cushion fenders.
Fender accessories can help make your life easier and protect your boat from fender marks and scratches. Here are all of the different accessories I was able to find:
Fender covers not only improve the aesthetic of boat fenders, but they also help you avoid any marks or scratches that may be caused by them.
Although fenders are meant to cushion your boat, the plastic used on them is still quite hard and can rub away your gel coat over time, especially if you have a heavy boat in a high current area.
Having a fender cover will help eliminate any possible damage.
One of the most annoying things to do when you’re relaxing at the sand bar or beach is to have to rush your bumpers on as someone is pulling their boat up to you.
This product called Fendergrip, made by New World Marine solves this. It makes putting your fenders down to the perfect height and keeping them there a million times easier.
You don’t even have to tie any notes, just adjust the rope to the right hight and clamp it down.
A fender rack makes storing, securing, and deploying cylinder fenders so much easier than if you were to store them in storage compartments in your boat.
Taylor Made makes this one, and it easily connects to almost any railing or stanchion system.
The buy now button below puts two different products in your Amazon cart, one is a fender rack for 7-9 inch diameter fenders, and the other is for 9-11 inch. Just make sure to delete the one that is not the correct size for you.
The brand most of the products I am recommending in this article is Taylor Made and sold on Amazon. They have been in the fender business for over a century and have almost every kind of boat bumper/fender you could dream for.
However, you can expect the same or similar quality from other brands such as:
You should have 1 fender per side for every 5-10 feet of boat, and no boat should have less than 3 fenders per side. Meaning a 15-foot boat should have 3 fenders per side, and a 50-foot boat should have 5-10 fenders per side. The amount you should use depends on factors such as where you are mooring, weather conditions, etc.
Size of Boat | Fenders Per Side |
---|---|
20 feet | 3 |
25 feet | 3 |
30 feet | 4 |
35 feet | 4 |
40 feet | 5 |
45 feet | 5 |
50 feet | 6 |
55 feet | 6 |
60 feet | 7 |
65 feet | 7 |
Fender should not be out when you are moving, they will just slow you down. However, when you are in a situation in which you need to put them down, they should be spread out evenly across your hull such as in the vessel from this image:

Due to algae and barnacles, boat fenders can get very dirty very fast. This can rub off on your boat and leave algae marks that can be hard to get out. In order to keep them clean, you should:
However, if you fenders are already dirty and look something like the image below, you will need to use a few products and cleaning techniques to get them looking good again.
Here are the 4 steps to cleaning a boat fender:
I would not recommend you use any harsh chemicals as this can eat away the plastics on your fenders and not only reduce their lifespan but also possibly cause the plastics to rub off and stain your boat hull.
Added Tip: After lightly cleaning your fenders, you can spray them with tire foam . This will not only clean them more, but it will also restore their look.
Sometimes your fender may be dirty due to it rubbing off paint and gel-coat on your hull. Here is a clear example of this:
If you believe this is happening, you should purchase a fender cover such as this one to protect your hull and fender. Fender covers cover the hard plastic on fenders and eliminate rubbing.
If you don’t have fender clips, tying your fender to a rail requires a bit more effort. Check out the video below to learn how:
Included in this article are links to boat fenders mostly made by Taylor Made and sold on Amazon. These are top-end fenders and will last you a very long time. However, they are a bit pricy when compared to other brands on Amazon.
After checking out some of these cheaper brands, here are the three I found to have the best reviews and most relevant products:
However, another great way to find boat bumpers and fenders is on the used market. For example, I went to Facebook Marketplace and searched for “boat fenders”. Here are the results:
Plenty of deals on fenders, many of which are made by good brands such as Taylor Made. They may need a bit of cleaning , but after that there about as good as new. I would recommend purchasing used from high-quality brands such as Taylor-made or polyform over the super cheap Amazon brands. Even though there used, they will still most likely last longer.
And before I end this article, here’s another look at the most popular boat fenders, so you don’t have to scroll all the way up to the top to purchase them.
Utterly essential but often forgotten and under-appreciated, fenders have the unenviable task of keeping your boat safe from contact with other vessels, pontoons or quay walls...
Correctly sized and positioned, boat fenders cushion the initial impact and dissipate the kinetic energy of your boat’s momentum, thereby avoiding costly damage to your own or other people’s craft.
The first task with all fenders is to attach them to the boat. Unless you have built-in fender buttons or use aftermarket clips, this usually involves tying the fender lines to a guardrail.
There are two boating knots I find suitable for this; the clove hitch, and the round turn and two half hitches. I always seem to find myself using clove hitches, as they are simple to do and easy to adjust.
However, they do have drawbacks, namely they are prone to slipping unless you add an extra locking hitch to make them secure for the longer term. A round turn and two half hitches is more secure and therefore better suited for occasions when you plan to leave the boat unattended.
They are also easier to tie when attaching them to the base of vertical stanchions, particularly when stretching up from the dock. There’s another good reason for doing this, as the lower the attachment point, the less stress they place on the guardrails.
Article continues below…
How to tie 4 essential boating knots and when to use them.
So, I usually tie them to the top of the guardrails when coming in to moor but then lower them to the stanchion bases before leaving the boat so they put less strain on the deck joints.
I am also a fan of having the fender closest to the stern hung off a deck cleat using a loop, as this allows for quick deployment and leaves more room on the cleat for stern lines and cross springs. It also means that it’s easy to grab if you need a ‘roving’ fender in a hurry.
The type of fender used is often dictated by how much room you have to stow them on board; cylindrical fenders are easier to stow in lockers and look neater when tied in a row on the stern.
Ball fenders, whilst a pain to stow, offer more protection for awkward stern quarters, and where the shape of the bow makes a vertical fender harder to deploy accurately. Being round, they are also very handy for pivoting the boat on or around to assist with exiting an awkward berth.
How you position your fenders is also vital. For coming onto a pontoon, I like them to be positioned with about a third of their length (around 6in/15cm) below the edge of the object they’ll be touching.
This allows them to roll a bit as you dock without being dislodged. Too high and they can pop out, too low and they can be pushed under the pontoon. For contact with quay walls, or if rafting onto another vessel, you want them to be protecting the widest point of the boat, usually the rubbing strake where the hull and topsides meet.
On a motorboat, the relatively square stern is often the most venerable spot, so position your biggest and best fender there. Then, I generally go for three more cylindrical fenders along the flat mid-sections of the topsides, with a ball fender just as the curve of the bow moves away from the dock.
The ball allows a slightly bolder approach when coming alongside without the aid of thrusters or IPS. They also make leaving with a wind-on situation easier as you can pivot around the ball fender and reverse away.
Lastly, keep them clean, as any dirt, grit or salt they collect will be ground into your hull, wearing away the polish and eventually the gelcoat, causing dull patches where the fenders have been hanging. Fender covers help but will need periodic washing to avoid the same fate.

Following a theoretical approach, we should position the fenders approximately 2 meters apart, taking into account their diameter, which can range from 9 to 50 cm, depending on the boat's size and the height of the bulwarks. For example, on a 10-meter sailboat, we can apply 3 cylindrical fenders, each with a diameter of 20-25 cm, on each side.
Sizing Fenders by Boat Length. We like roughly 1" of diameter for cylindrical fenders or 2" of diameter for spherical fenders for every four-to-five feet of boat length. This is not a firm recommendation because fender size also depends on location, boat weight and conditions. Boats in unprotected end ties on Lake Erie, San Francisco Bay or ...
