GIANT
MARINE FENDERS BY JIM BUOY The Giant Marine Fender
is not an inflatable, but a fender with a 98% closed-cell inner foam
core that will never blow-out or sink! Often referred to in the industry
as the "hull saver", Jim Buoy's unique design is not simply
a roll of foam but is a carefully crafted, quality product incorporating
the same US Coast Guard Approved foam used in the Jim Buoy Industrial
Life Preservers. The end product is a rugged fender that provides
"stop-gap" compression when hard hit time after time;
not only protecting the ship from damage but the dock and even the
fender itself.
Highly Resistant to Abrasions and Punctures -
Encased in an outer covering of "Elastomic Skin" (up to
5/16" thick material) plus a urethane skin base, the Jim Buoy
Giant Marine Fenders are extremely resilient and able to flex with
the rigors of high energy berthing over and over again, providing
the user with extended service under all conditions. All models may
be mounted vertically or float horizontally. The Tube-Through-the Center models feature a
1-1/4" thru-hole that provides easy access for tethering.
Installation Tips - Fenders vertically when coming along side
another ship or dock allowing the line from the lower end of the
Fender to be free. After the ship's lines are secure, pull the
Fender to a horizontal position. Use additional Fenders during rough
weather.
Repair Service - If your fender is damaged by misuse or
eventual "wear and tear", arrangements may be made for
Jim Buoy to recondition them to near-new condition and return to
owner as needed. Please contact SailboatStuff for complete details.
Giant Marine Fenders by Jim Buy are available in Tube-Through-the-Center or Galzanized Swivel Designs (see diagram on left).
