TACO Metals Quick Release Pontoon Fender Lock
TACO Metals Quick Release Pontoon Fender Lock — Product description
The TACO Metals Quick Release Fender Lock takes the fuss out of hanging fenders on a pontoon rail. It clamps to 1 to 1-1/4 inch square tubing and grips your fender line with a one-way pull pin, so you can drop a fender fast coming into the dock and lock it right back up. Simple, corrosion-resistant, done.
If you run a pontoon, you know the drill. You're easing up to the dock, you need fenders over the side now, and the last thing you want is to be fumbling with knots. That's what this TACO Metals fender lock fixes. It mounts on your square pontoon railing, anywhere from 1 to 1-1/4 inch tube, and holds your fender line with a one-way pull pin.
Here's how it works. The pin lets the line feed one direction only, so the fender holds its height under load and won't creep. When you want to adjust, you hit the 1 inch push button, slide the fender where you want it, and let go. It grabs a 3/4 inch rope, which covers most standard fender lines.
It's machined from satin anodized 6000-series aluminum, so it shrugs off salt spray and sun without corroding or looking tired after a season. One lock handles one fender. Grab a few and rig the whole rail.
