KEMIMOTO 17-inch Boat Fenders Bumpers, Blue, 2 PCS — Molded Foam, No-Inflate Dock Protection

KEMIMOTO 17-inch boat fenders are rigid, no-inflate dock bumpers designed to protect gunwales and hulls on 15–25 ft boats without the hassle of air-filled fenders.

These compact, molded foam bumpers replace inflatable fenders with a durable, closed-cell cross-linked material that resists sun exposure, abrasion and waterlogging. With an integrated strap and reinforced nylon rope, the fenders attach quickly to most cleats, rails or dock posts and stay secure during normal docking and light rough conditions. The two-pack configuration suits short runabouts and small pontoons, and sizing guidance helps you plan how many to use for a given vessel length.

How do these fenders mount to a dock or boat?

Installation is simple: thread the extra-long strap around a rail or post and lock it in place — no knots required. A reinforced nylon rope with a fixed buckle offers added safety and prevents slippage, while the strap design accommodates higher attachment points.

• Integrated strap locks for quick attachment and removal
• Extra-long strap fits higher rails and posts
• Reinforced nylon rope provides backup stability
• No inflation or valves to manage

Will these bumpers protect a bass boat or jon boat effectively?

The closed-cell foam construction absorbs impact and prevents scratches along the gunwale and hull where small boats frequently contact docks or other vessels. For boats 15–25 feet, the manufacturer recommends one fender per 10 feet of length to ensure adequate coverage and impact distribution.

• 17 in length and 8 in diameter sized for small to midsize boats
• Designed to shield low freeboard craft like bass and jon boats
• Use minimum three fenders for boats nearing 30 ft
• Compact shape covers corners and mid-gunwale contact points

How durable are these fenders in sun, salt, and heavy use?

Made from cross-linked closed-cell foam, these bumpers resist UV degradation, water absorption and common wear from repeated docking. Their molded construction eliminates seams and valves that can fail, and the reinforced attachment points reduce stress during rough conditions.

• Cross-linked closed-cell foam resists sun and moisture damage
• Molded one-piece design removes air-leak concerns
• Reinforced rope and fixed buckle improve storm-time reliability
• Durable outer skin stands up to abrasion and contact

Who is this for? The KEMIMOTO 17in boat fenders are intended for recreational boat owners who want reliable, low-maintenance protection without inflating or patching traditional fenders. They fit bass boats, jon boats, small pontoons, bow riders and similar craft with low freeboard. Choose this two-pack if you have a shorter runabout or pair with additional fenders for larger boats; follow the one-per-10-foot guideline and use at least three units for boats approaching 30 feet to achieve continuous protection.
