This rubber D fender is 38mm wide by 25mm high and has a 5.5mm wall thickness. This fender is ideal for protecting your boat or other marine vessel from bumps or knocks in the event of impact. The hollow shape allows for the fender to compress under pressure by absorbing and deflecting the impact.
We recommend using a fixing strip to secure this section onto your boat. To do this, feed the fixing strip through the centre of the hollow ‘D’ and secure in place with self-tapping screws or bolts. You can then use solid neoprene cord for plugging the bolt holes in the top of the D fender. It is possible to fit this section without a fixing strip by bolting directly through the base of the D.
We manufacture this product from high quality EPDM which is a rubber compound suitable for a wide range of everyday and industrial applications. EPDM is around the same hardness (70° Shore A) as the rubber on a car tyre and has an operating temperature range between -40°C to +120°C. Unlike PVC, EPDM will stay the same hardness all year round.
