ABSTRACT:
A combined protective and suspending assembly for fenders, more particularly to an abrasion and weather resistant cover for pneumatic or foam boat fenders of the cylindrical double-ended-eye type. The cover is a generally rectangular sheet of material preferably rip stop nylon, having a drawstring pocket at the bottom, and a heavy webbing along the side margins. In use, the cover wraps around the fender with one eye projecting below the drawstring. The drawstring passes through the eye and then extends to be used as the lacing to lace the cover to the fender. Extensions of the webbing form a hanger strap having grommets therein for being secured to turnbuckles fastened to the boat. The fabric cover may have a reflective exterior surface for night safety, and the strap may be used as a sling for carrying or for throwing the fender when used as an auxiliary float in man-overboard situations. The cover overlies the webbing to provide a flap to protect and hide the lacing. The preferred web material is a stitched or glued laminate of heavy canvas to heavy duty reinforced vinyl.
