OCEANBROAD 17-inch Horizontal Dock Fender Bumpers Black 4 Pack, Inflatable PVC with Stainless Hardware

OCEANBROAD 17" Horizontal Dock Fender Bumpers are inflatable, marine-grade PVC dock protectors designed to absorb impact and protect both boat hulls and dock edges.

These 17-inch horizontal dock bumpers from OCEANBROAD combine soft contact with rugged construction to give reliable edge protection where boats meet docks. Built from UV-resistant, marine-grade PVC with reinforced ribs, they resist fading, cracking, and crushing while remaining gentle on gelcoat and painted surfaces. Each pack includes four pre-drilled bumpers and a full stainless-steel mounting kit to make installation straightforward and long-lasting.

How do these bumpers protect my boat and dock during gusts or tight maneuvers?

The bumpers create a cushioned barrier that reduces direct contact force between boat hulls and dock edges. Their reinforced rib design spreads impact energy across the bumper body, while the soft outer PVC prevents abrasion to delicate finishes. Because they are low-profile yet thick, they protect in both light contacts and heavier knocks caused by wind or waves.

• 17" length covers a broad horizontal area for edge protection
• Soft marine-grade PVC minimizes scratches and scuffs
• Reinforced ribs improve impact dispersion and strength
• Inflatable material maintains resilience across temperature changes

What makes installation quick and corrosion-resistant?

OCEANBROAD supplies each bumper with three factory-drilled 5/16" holes and a stainless-steel hardware kit so you can mount them securely to dock faces without sourcing additional parts. The included screws and washers are marine-grade to resist rusting in salt or freshwater environments. Installation is a simple align-and-screw process that requires only common hand tools, allowing for fast permanent attachment.

• Pre-drilled 5/16" holes for consistent screw placement
• 12 stainless steel screws and 12 washers included in 4-pack
• No specialized tools needed—standard drill or driver works
• Hardware designed for long-term exposure to marine conditions

Will these bumpers fit my dock and different boat types?

The 17" x 3.9" x 4.7" dimensions give a universal, low-profile fit suited to most docks, swim platforms, and raft edges. Their horizontal orientation is ideal for protecting side edges and borderline docking areas where contact occurs along the hull length. The neutral profile and standardized size make them practical for private docks, commercial marinas, and rental properties alike.

• 17 inches long for ample horizontal coverage
• 3.9" width and 4.7" height for low-profile protection
• Suitable for fiberglass, aluminum, and painted hulls
• Works on docks, rafts, and commercial waterfront applications

How durable are these bumpers against UV, salt, and heavy use?

Constructed from UV-resistant marine-grade PVC, the bumpers are formulated to resist fading, splitting, and surface deterioration in sun and salt environments. The ribbed structure adds mechanical strength to prevent crushing and tearing under repeated impacts. While the material softens or firms slightly with temperature shifts, its protective performance remains consistent for routine docking demands.

• UV-stable PVC resists color fade and surface breakdown
• Rib reinforcement prevents cracks and improves longevity
• Designed to withstand repeated contact and compression
• Material choice minimizes maintenance and replacement frequency

Who is this for: OCEANBROAD 17" Horizontal Dock Fender Bumpers are aimed at boat owners, marina operators, waterfront property managers, and rental facilities that need dependable dock-edge protection without complex installation. They suit anyone seeking a balance of softness for hull care and toughness for long-term marine exposure, particularly where wind or close-quarter maneuvers make frequent contact possible.
