Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a pontoon boat fender that is convenient to use, easy to install and easy to secure in place. The top end of the fender defines a channel that is sized to receive the top of the fence that surrounds the perimeter of the pontoon boat. A stretchable cord is coupled to the lower end of the fender body and to a suction device that is capable of coupling to the float tube of the boat. The fender body extends at least the length of the fence and is shaped so that when it is mounted to the top of the fence the fender does not rest against the remaining portion of the fence, the floor or the rub rail. With this shape, the fender is able to absorb impacts without transferring a significant amount of destructive energy to the pontoon boat components. Moreover, in one embodiment, the fender body includes a number of generally vertical channels that assist in absorbing any impact.

Abstract: A boat bumper for protecting a boat from damage upon impacting a mooring or the like is disclosed. The bumper comprises a plate extending over a portion of the hull of the boat. Padding is positioned on the plate for separating the plate from the hull of the boat. The plate is connected to the boat so as to be displaceable with respect to the boat during an impact, and yet not be removed therefrom. A pair of suction cups connect the plate to the boat, the stem of the first suction cup riding in an elongate slot in the plate, and the second connected to the plate via a resilient cord.
