ABSTRACT:
A fender maintains separation between a vessel, such as a pleasure boat, and a wharf to which the vessel is moored. The fender utilizes a thrust rod, one end of which is connected to the vessel. In a preferred embodiment, the other end of the thrust rod is linked to one end of each of two elastic shock absorber elements. The other ends of each of such shock absorber elements are capable of being affixed to the wharf. The embodiment also provides wheels at the wharf end of the thrust rod to reduce friction between the thrust rod end and the wharf.
