ABSTRACT:
A generally cylindrical simulated boat fender or bumper is provided that has an approximate width to length ratio of 1:3 to allow the device to be used in combination with an existing fender holder or holders mounted on a marine vessel. The device is preferably constructed from a molded polyethylene and has a removable lid. In the preferred embodiment-the lid attachment is of the bayonet type and has a pair of recessed apertures to receive the fingers of the user, but other types of attachment and handle means are discussed. To aid in simulating the appearance of a standard fender or bumper, the device includes a plurality of longitudinally disposed protruding ribs along its outer body, has a smooth rounded base distal the lid and opening, and may include a deep recess or recesses proximate the central longitudinal axis of the apparatus to counterfeit the rope holes on the authentic item.
