Tim Hansen
“We all know about windy docking.
I hit the side fender hard at about 15 degrees after my bow was pushed around,
even after using the thruster, simply bounced off."
Bennett Medary
“It was very easy to install these and Hilton made sure that I
had plenty of spare hardware to attach them to the dock.
They were great and I actually did find myself resting against them
sometimes when facing a stiff westerly! "
Becca Mintern
"...I put it back into reverse and promptly bounced off
the newly installed safe2dock fender. Truly a real Dock Bumper.
Just as well, the duckboard would have hit the concrete
pontoon supporting the walkway. Saved my rear end!"
