ABSTRACT:
A dock fender support bracket includes a cup-like holder section having a sidewall and a bottom wall and a pair of axially aligned holes through the sidewall. In one embodiment, the support bracket includes a clevis section having a body with spaced flanges oriented inside of the cup-like holder section and extending in parallel planes. In another embodiment, the support bracket is integrally molded. An elongate section of the support bracket is configured to be attached to a dock and to elastically flex in all directions transverse of a longitudinal axis thereof. The elongate section can be formed of a hollow or solid resin, and can include spring or metal reinforcement. The support bracket is configured to support the dock fender at the cup-like holder section. A resilient insert can support a rod-mounted fender.
