ABSTRACT:
A mounting connector for suspending articles such as fenders from the life lines and life rails in boats provides a secure attachment while enabling rapid disengagement or adjustment in the position of the fender. The mounting connector includes a hook arrangement which hooks onto the life line or life rail and includes a blocker which can be inserted into the hook to prevent accidental disengagement. The fender line passes through two closely spaced parallel holes in the body portion of the connector and can be readily adjusted lengthwise relative to these holes when the connector is moved to a horizontal position, but which bind with such holes when in normal suspended condition.
