Frequently Asked Questions

Boat Fenders and Dock Bumpers Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What size boat fender do I need?

The correct boat fender size depends on your boat's length, weight, and docking conditions. Larger boats typically require larger diameter fenders for better protection.

Q. What's the difference between a boat fender and a dock bumper?

Boat fenders hang from your boat to protect the hull during docking, while dock bumpers are permanently mounted to docks or pilings to reduce impact.

Q. How many boat fenders should I carry?

Most recreational boats should carry at least three fenders, while larger vessels often require four to six depending on their length and docking conditions.

Q. Can boat fenders be used in saltwater?

Yes. Marine-grade boat fenders are designed for both freshwater and saltwater use. Rinsing them after prolonged saltwater exposure helps extend their lifespan.

Q. Do inflatable boat fenders lose air over time?

Like most inflatable products, boat fenders may require occasional inflation checks. Proper inflation provides the best protection for your boat.

Lowrance HDS PRO 12 with 3-1 Active Imaging
I have not installed it yet

I have not installed it yet. Canpar was super slow once it got transferred to Canada post. They held it for 5 business days in my town without contacting me.
Harbor challenger is awesome but shipping through canpar was not.
Good price. Hopefully I get to use it next weekend.

Great rod for the price. Loads up nicely, detects the lightest of hits and has the backbone for serious fish.

I like this plug much more than the twist lock style

I like this plug much more than the twist lock style. Easier to use and it doesn’t disengage like the twist lock did. Hopefully more durable also. Time will tell

TFO Downrigger-Mooching Rod 9'
Great 9 foot downrigger rod

Nice balance and match with my TYEE reel. Sensitive to detect light bites, but loads up progressively for head shakes and aggressive runs with plenty of backbone to bring the fish in. First impressions very good.

Danik Hook Marine Fender Hook 3/8" - 5/8"
Great hooks

Great hooks. Stronger than some others. Good fit for our larger fenders. The price was typical for those hooks but seems a bit high for what they are. However we are glad Harbour Chandler carries them.
