This Week's Best Idea -StowAway Inflatable Fenders

How many fenders do YOU carry on your boat?

Even the smallest boat will need boat fenders at least occasionally. The truth is that no matter how many fenders you carry, there's always an occasion when you might need more – and if you carry too many, where do you store them?


Conventional fenders can be hard to handle and take up a lot of storage space on board when not in use.

Now here's a product that was recently a finalist in Innovation Awards in the Marine Aftermarket Trade Show in Las Vegas.

Stowaway fenders are easy to use, and store in a very small space. The trade name is 'StowAway Boat Fenders™' and they offer high impact protection but are inflatable and deflatable - just roll them up for storage.





Four fenders and a pump fit into an attractive storage case store in less space than one conventional fender.

They're available in a variety of sizes and colors to protect and look good on any boat.
