Taylor Made Tidy Gard Fender Adjuster w/ Rope | 1131
Taylor Made Tidy Gard Fender Adjuster w/ Rope | 1131 — Product description
The Taylor Made Tidy Gard takes the fuss out of hanging fenders. It snaps right over a standard-diameter rail, no tools, and the included 6-foot line lets you drop a fender to exactly the height you need. When you're done, pull it off and stow it. White vinyl that won't scuff your rail.
Anybody who's ever fumbled with a half-hitch at the rail while the boat drifts toward a piling knows the problem. Hanging a fender should be quick. The Taylor Made Tidy Gard makes it that way. It's a molded vinyl clip that snaps over a standard-diameter rail, and it holds your fender line so you can raise or lower the fender to the exact height you need without tying a single knot.
Here's how it works out on the water. You snap the Tidy Gard over the top rail wherever you want the fender to hang. The included 6-foot solid braid polypropylene line runs through it, and you feed the fender up or down until it sits right against the dock or the piling. Come into a floating dock that rides low? Drop it. Rafting up against a boat that sits high? Bring it up. No re-tying, no cleats, no cluttered rail.
It's built to work with 3/8-inch fender lines, which covers most of the mid-size fenders boaters run. The body is white vinyl, so it won't scratch or stain a painted or gelcoat rail, and it blends in instead of standing out. And because it just snaps on, there's nothing to drill and nothing permanent. Take it off at the end of the season and the rail's exactly how you left it.
This is the kind of small piece of gear you don't think about until you've got one. Great for anyone who docks single-handed, ties up where the tide swings hard, or just wants the fenders squared away in seconds instead of fighting knots. Keep a few aboard and you've got fenders ready to go on both sides.
One thing to know: the Tidy Gard is sized for standard-diameter rails. If your boat runs oversized rail, measure before you order. Not sure what you've got? We're happy to help you figure it out.

Frequently asked questions
Does it come with a line?
Yes. A 6-foot solid braid polypropylene line is included, so you can hang a fender right out of the package.
What size rail does it fit?

What size fender line does it work with?
It's built to work with 3/8-inch fender lines, which covers most mid-size fenders boaters run.
Do I need tools to install it?
No. The Tidy Gard snaps over the rail with its strap, so there's nothing to drill and nothing permanent.
Will it scratch or stain my rail?
The body is white vinyl, so it won't scratch or stain a painted or gelcoat rail. It's meant to sit against the finish without marking it.
Can I adjust how high the fender hangs?
Yes. That's the whole point. Feed the line up or down through the Tidy Gard to set the fender at the exact height the dock, piling, or neighboring boat calls for.
