Hurricane Boat Fenders

The All New Boat Fender with Triple Absorbing Action!

Actually resists damage of collisions 3 times better than any simple fender and will never bottom out!

Available in 4 sizes
6", 8", 10" & 12" Diameters

The remarkable, newly designed Jim Buoy Hurricane Fender actually can prevent damage of collision 3 times more effectively than any other simple fender! Where other inflatable fenders “bottom-out”, the Hurricane never will! The secret to the Hurricane’s success is its unique, internal cushion that in effect provides free insurance. Working in conjunction with the outer compressed air chamber, the high-density inner foam core can absorb the shock of hard, direct contact with docks, pilings, etc. and never “bottom-out!” A sudden wave-wake or pilot error while docking may cause a serious and expensive hull dent or even personal injury. By employing the Jim Buoy Hurricane Fender this risk can be greatly reduced or even prevented. Remember, the final, sharp jolt affects the most damage.

Hurricane's Unique Triple Absorbing Design

TRIPLE--DUTY FEATURES

HEAVY DUTY CONSTRUCTION THROUGHOUT!

Triple-Duty Features:

  1. Normal air compression in outer air chamber.

  2. Air compression plus contact with the internal foam core.

  3. Air compression, internal foam core compression and finally, total compression of the entire fender unit!

Functioning in unison, the triple-absorbing action of the Hurricane Fender eliminates the sharp, violent shock encountered with simple air cushioned fenders and the resulting damage from “bottoming out”. Even if the Hurricane Fender outer shell was split and inflation totally lost from the air chamber, the inner high-density foam core would never fail...it simply cannot “bottom out!” The value is obvious...for just pennies more than other top-of-the-line fenders you can equip your vessel with the best, the all new Jim Buoy Hurricane Fender!

HEAVY DUTY CONSTRUCTION THROUGHOUT!

OUTER SHELL - The inflatable outer shell is manufactured from the highest quality, virgin marine vinyl to withstand the most constant, severe use. The color is permanently impregnated into the vinyl.

AIR VALVE SYSTEM - Only rust and corrosion resistant industrial valves are used to permit control of internal air pressure. Pressure may be varied from the normal 2 psi to suit individual requirements.

INNER CORE - Finest quality, high density closed-cell foam, permanently sealed within the outer vinyl shell.

THRU HOLE - 5/8” I.D. heavy duty tubing, molded in the inner foam core. Allows both horizontal use against pilings, etc. and of course vertical use against flat docks or other vessels.
