The 8\" x 16\" profile (15.2\" height with two 4.5\" corner segments) combines a thick 5mm PVC shell with ergonomic curves to guide vessels smoothly into place. Installation is straightforward, and the kit includes spacers and stainless steel screws; an air pump is not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these bumpers protect my boat and dock?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rounded, dual-corner design disperses contact force across a broader surface to reduce concentrated impact points on both hulls and dock edges. The thick marine-grade PVC resists tearing and abrasion, while the smooth shape minimizes friction when a vessel brushes against the dock. These features work together to reduce cosmetic damage and small structural nicks during routine docking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5mm heavy-duty marine PVC resists cuts and abrasion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRounded contours lower friction against hulls\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDual corner sections cover high-contact areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel screws and spacers for secure mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I install and maintain a KEMIMOTO dock corner bumper?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is a simple three-step process: inflate the bumper partially, position it on the dock corner, and fasten it with the supplied spacers and stainless hardware. Only fill the bumper halfway to avoid over-inflation, which can make alignment and mounting difficult. Routine maintenance consists of rinsing with fresh water to remove salt and checking fittings for corrosion and tightness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInflate to about 50% capacity to retain shape and allow mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse supplied spacers and stainless screws for a firm attachment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRinse with fresh water; inspect mounting annually\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReplace if deep punctures or seam damage occur\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill these bumpers stand up to sun, salt, and heavy use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKEMIMOTO dock bumpers are manufactured from UV-resistant marine PVC designed for exposure to sunlight and saltwater environments. The material thickness and durable construction provide resilience against frequent contacts and weathering, although extremely abrasive collisions can eventually cause wear.

This format covers common dock corners and edges where boats most frequently make contact, and the ergonomic shape helps guide vessels into alignment rather than trapping them against the dock. Multiple units can be installed to protect longer stretches of a dock or to accommodate different boat sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOverall height: 15.2 inches; corner sections: 4.5 inches each\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned for corner and edge protection on docks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks well in multiples for extended coverage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBest used with proper partial inflation for fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for: The KEMIMOTO Dock Bumpers are ideal for boat owners, marina managers, and dock builders who want a durable, low-friction solution to protect hulls and dock corners.
