Because the eyes are molded into the fender body, the loads distribute evenly and the fenders stay put under pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRibbed PVC provides added abrasion resistance at contact points\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInflation creates a soft buffer that compresses under impact\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrated twin eyes allow secure vertical or horizontal positioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes ropes sized 6.5 ft for adjustable standoff distance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat comes in the package and how easy is setup?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit includes four 6.5\" x 23\" ribbed fenders, four 6.5 ft fender lines, four inflation needles, one hand pump and a storage bag—everything needed to rig fenders without extra trips to the shop.
