Say goodbye to unsightly cleats and complicated knots – this retractable fender hook offers a clean, convenient way to hang your boat fenders. When not in use, the hook assembly sits flush with the deck or gunwale, blending seamlessly with your boat’s surface. To attach a fender, simply pull up the knob and give it a twist – a sturdy hook instantly pops out, ready to secure your fender line. The spring-loaded mechanism locks it in the raised position for reliable holding during use. After you’re done, push the hook down and it neatly disappears, leaving nothing protruding that could snag lines or stub toes on deck.
Crafted from polished marine-grade stainless steel, this pop-up fender hook not only looks sleek but also withstands the marine environment without rusting or sticking. It comes in two sizes to accommodate different rope diameters and boat sizes. The smaller model (code 01099-34) is perfect for small to medium boats where fender lines are typically 6–8 mm thick. The larger model (code 01099-47) is designed for bigger yachts or situations requiring heavier fenders, handling lines 8–13 mm thick. Installing the hook requires cutting a properly sized hole in the boat’s gunwale or rail; the unit then bolts in to sit completely flush. The result is an elegant, low-profile point where you can quickly attach or remove fenders when docking. This system significantly speeds up docking procedures and keeps your boat’s exterior tidy, without loose ropes hanging around. With the retractable fender hook, you gain a professional and convenient solution for fender management – something both weekend boaters and seasoned captains will appreciate for more efficient mooring.
- During Docking: Makes attaching and removing fenders incredibly fast when coming alongside – just pop the hook up and loop the line, then stow it away when you depart.
- Ideal For: Boat owners who want a clean look and efficient fender handling on powerboats, sailboats, or RIBs, without permanent cleats cluttering the rails.
- Size Guidance: Small model suits boats up to ~8 m (thinner lines and smaller fenders); large model is for bigger boats 8–12+ m using thicker lines and larger fenders.
- Installation Tip: Requires precise drilling of the mounting surface. Professional installation with proper sealant is recommended to ensure a watertight fit and secure fastening.
