Bump. Thwack. Thwack. Grind. This is the sound of two hard surfaces being continuously propelled into each other – your shiny boat, for example, repeatedly grating against the rough edge of the mooring pen…
The preventative solution to this is simple and cost-effective. Melbourne-based vessel protection specialist Marine Solutions provides a range of innovative ways to protect your pride and joy from accidents and the elements.
Marine Solutions’ Lee Vitiello said it made sound financial sense to prevent easily-avoidable external damage to your vessel.
“Your boat may have cost tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars, but if it has ugly marks from mooring damage, its appearance and prestige plummets – and so does the pleasure of your boating experience,” Mr Vitiello.
“External damage can also be very costly to repair, so taking preventative action, such as installing our innovative D Fender system in your mooring pen, is very cost-effective.”
Marine Solutions’ D Fender system can be fitted vertically to marina pylons and jetty poles or horizontally along marina whalers, to provide protection from hard surfaces.
The robust, fixed-length bumpers are easy to install and don’t require any modifications to the marina itself – they simply need to be screwed over the existing gunwale rubber. They can even be easily relocated and reinstalled, and will fit all types of marina – so the system is as portable as you are.
D Fender bumpers are available in 1.2m or 1.7m lengths and are lightweight and durable – even the heaviest impact won’t cause them to deflate or burst. The heavy-duty PVC-coated fabric is designed to withstand long-term exposure to the elements, resisting damage from mildew and UV exposure.
Marine Solutions is dedicated to solving the everyday problems that affect all boat users. The company’s comprehensive range of vessel protection products extends from easily-stored onboard inflatable fenders, right through to the unique and complete Ultimate Vessel Protection (UVP) system for your most prized asset. Marine Solutions can even tailor products to suit your vessel, including colour-coordinated docking products and custom-embroidered fender / rope covers with your boat’s name.
Don’t let neglect bump off your boat – give your investment the protection it deserves.
