Come over to the show to see Automatic Boat Fender in action!
Recently I saw in action a very exciting bow fender product. We all know that hanging the bow fenders on cruisers, speedboats and many other boats is a major hassle. So, a local company found a clever solution: Automatic Fender™. Using them one can dock without leaving the Cockpit!
The Automatic Fenders deploy the bow fenders with a single push of a button, without the need to climb on the boat's bow/deck. The fenders are stored horizontally under the railing, almost invisibly. The Automatic Fenders are made of a white, shiny PolyCarbonate/ABS and blend nicely with the boat; making them almost invisible.
Fender height from the water is set to support different height docks and rafting/tethering (boat to boat) tying. Installation and operation is very easy, requiring only three clamps to connect (no drilling). No electrical connection to the boat is required. The Automatic Fender comes with a rechargeable battery, charged using a solar cell Bluetooth communication.
The Automatic Fenders can be controlled from any location on the boat, and are delivered with a unique username and password to prevent unauthorized operation and deter theft. The Automatic Fenders work with different size center (through) hole fenders.
From all fender Baskets and fender storage solutions they are the best looking. The fenders are stored horizontally under the railing, not blocking the captain's view.
This is literally one of the most innovative and unique products I have seen in years, and the best thing: they are designed and manufactured right here in the California Delta!
