Docking & Fenders

Boat dock supplies include everything from piling caps to boat whips. Docking properly is much easier with the right lines, properly sized boat fenders, and shore power pedestals. It's all right here at Defender!

Which is better - fenders or whips?

Boat whips are designed for side dockage and safely hold your boat off the dock as if it were tied to outside pilings. Whips won't protect your boat in times of high sea or wake and become less reliable in a high windstorm. Boat fenders are tried and true. They hold the boat off and are only subject to puncture which is pretty difficult to do.

What supplies can I find to upgrade my dock?

At Defender, the sky is the limit on accessories for your dock. Dock boxes, pier lights, carts, steps, and piling caps clean up your look around the slip. Piling fenders and boat bumpers combine with dock wheels and run rails to protect your dock from your boat!

Why are dock lines available in triple twist and triple braid?

Precut dock lines from Defender are constructed with nylon. A 3-strand twist offers a great feel in the hands and a triple braid offers a super high tensile strength. Both styles of line are the best boat lines available on the market, you just have to feel which one is best for you!
