ABSTRACT:
A damage preventing bumper attachable to fixed marine structures to cushion boats and the like against engagement with the structure. The bumpers are air filled to absorb the shocks of a boat engaging the marine dock or post and include a valve for adjustment of the air quantity. The bumpers are fixedly secured to the marine structure by screws which pass through a sleeve formed through the bumper body. The bumpers are formed in a plurality of configurations to cover the critical areas of the structure including corners and posts. A groove formed in the top of the bumper allows the user to lay marine utility lines such as electrical cords and hoses within the bumper and therefore off of the docking facility. The bumpers are made of a marine grade vinyl for durability and to prevent marring of the boat.
