ABSTRACT:
A fender is comprised of a relatively thin, wide, and elongate pad with a central core of resilient material completely enclosed in a durable cover with the cover having flaps that extend beyond the ends of the central core. Grommetted openings are located in the flaps. Cooperating fastening device, such as hook and loop material or snap fasteners, may be located on the inwardly facing surface of the fender with the corresponding fastening device secured to the target attachment surface for the fender in order to preclude motion of the fender once installed thereon. Length adjustable straps have a J-hook on one end that is received within one of the grommetted openings with the opposing end having fastening device thereon for wrapping the straps around a securement object and fastening the strap in a closed loop therearound.
