ABSTRACT:
A boat bumper for protecting a boat from damage upon impacting a mooring or the like is disclosed. The bumper comprises a plate extending over a portion of the hull of the boat. Padding is positioned on the plate for separating the plate from the hull of the boat. The plate is connected to the boat so as to be displaceable with respect to the boat during an impact, and yet not be removed therefrom. A pair of suction cups connect the plate to the boat, the stem of the first suction cup riding in an elongate slot in the plate, and the second connected to the plate via a resilient cord.
