Sailortenx Inflatable Ribbed Boat Fenders 4-Pack 4.5" x 16" with Ropes, Needles & Pump

Sailortenx 4-pack inflatable ribbed boat fenders are durable PVC bumpers with integrated twin eyes, ropes, needles and a hand pump to protect boats and docks during docking and mooring.

These ribbed marine fenders combine UV-resistant PVC construction with a ribbed exterior and integrated eyelets so you can hang them vertically or horizontally as needed. Each set includes four 4.5" x 16" fenders, 6.5 ft fender lines, inflation needles and a hand pump so you have everything required to install and use them on day one. The ribs add a cushioning layer that disperses impact while the twin-eye design keeps the fender secured to cleats, rails or stanchions.

How do these fenders reduce impact when docking?

The ribbed surface increases contact area and absorbs more of the shock than a smooth bumper, helping to prevent scrapes and dents. Inflatable chambers allow the fenders to compress under load and spring back when pressure eases, protecting both hull and dock. Their elongated shape provides continuous coverage along the side of most small-to-medium boats.

• Ribbed exterior for extra shock dispersion and abrasion resistance
• Inflatable design compresses on impact, then re-expands
• Twin integrated eyes allow secure vertical or horizontal mounting
• Set includes ropes, needles and pump—ready to install

What sizes and components come in the kit?

Each kit contains four 4.5" diameter by 16" long inflatable fenders, which suit a wide range of small craft. The package supplies four 6.5 ft fender lines for versatile mounting plus four inflating needles and a hand pump so you can inflate and fit them immediately. Color options are available to match your boat’s aesthetics.

• Four fenders: 4.5" x 16" each
• Four 6.5 ft fender ropes for adjustable placement
• Four inflation needles and one hand pump included
• Available in white, black, or blue to suit many vessels

How do I install and maintain these marine fenders?

Installation is straightforward: inflate to recommended firmness, thread the supplied rope through the integrated twin eyes, and tie securely to the cleat or rail. For maintenance, rinse with fresh water after salt exposure and store deflated out of direct sunlight when not in use to prolong the PVC and ribs. Inspect eyelets and ropes routinely for wear and replace any compromised components promptly.

• Inflate with included pump; avoid overinflation
• Secure with supplied 6.5 ft ropes through twin eyes
• Rinse with fresh water after saltwater use to prevent buildup
• Store deflated and shaded to extend material life

Will these fenders work for my boat type and docking situation?

These 4.5" x 16" fenders suit many small-to-medium vessels including inflatables, center-console boats, pontoons, sailboats and personal watercraft. Their ribbed surface and twin-eye mounting make them suitable for side-on dock contact, tight slips and transient mooring. For larger yachts or heavy-duty impact scenarios, consider larger-diameter or higher-capacity fenders.

• Ideal for dinghies, runabouts, ski boats, sailboats and pontoons
• Works well on docks, pilings and alongside other vessels
• Not intended as the sole protector for large ships or heavy collisions
• Mix with larger fenders when extra coverage is required
