What Is This Boat Fender Used For?

The Hurricane Original Series cylindrical fender is designed to provide a protective buffer between a boat hull and a marina berth, pontoon, quay or adjacent vessel.

It can be used for:

• Marina and pontoon berthing
• Alongside mooring
• Temporary rafting alongside another vessel
• Protecting the side of a boat during boarding or loading
• Replacement of an existing cylindrical twin-eye fender

The fender must be positioned at the expected point of contact between the hull and the berth. Multiple fenders may be required depending on the size of the vessel and the mooring arrangement.

What Is Included?

The selected Hurricane Original Series fender is supplied with:

• One cylindrical boat fender in the selected model and size
• Reinforced attachment eye at each end
• Adjustable inflation valve
• Fender pre-inflated and ready for installation

Not included:

• Fender rope or fender line
• Fender cover or fender sock
• Fender basket or storage rack
• Mooring lines
• Additional attachment hardware

A suitable marine-grade fender line must be selected separately.

The PM05 and PM07 share the same stated boat-length range, but the PM07 has a larger diameter and greater overall length.

The boat-length figures are a size-selection guide. Confirm the required fender size and number of fenders for the vessel and its usual berthing conditions.

Can the Fender Be Used Vertically or Horizontally?

Yes. The reinforced twin-eye design allows the Hurricane Original Series fender to be installed vertically or horizontally.

For vertical installation, position the fender so that it protects the expected hull-contact area throughout normal tidal or water-level changes.

For horizontal installation, use suitable fender lines and both reinforced eyes so the fender remains correctly positioned.

Before use, confirm that:

• The fender does not hang above or below the required contact point
• The fender line cannot slip out of position
• The attachment point is suitable for the expected load
• The fender does not obstruct deck fittings, boarding points or controls
• The fender remains between the hull and the berth throughout normal vessel movement

Construction and Design

• One-piece moulded body
• Reinforced twin-eye construction
• Cylindrical fender profile
• Smooth high-gloss exterior finish
• Adjustable inflation valve
• Pre-inflated supply
• Suitable for vertical or horizontal rigging
• Produced using precision CNC-machined moulds
• Manufactured in the United Kingdom

The one-piece construction removes separate body joints from the main fender structure. The reinforced eyes provide attachment points at both ends, while the smooth high-gloss finish is designed to reduce marking and provide an easy-to-clean exterior.

Precision CNC-machined moulds are used to maintain the defined Original Series shape and consistent dimensions between fenders of the same model.

Inflation and Valve Use

The Hurricane Original Series fender is supplied pre-inflated and ready to use. The fitted adjustable valve allows the internal air pressure to be corrected when required.

Before use:

• Inspect the fender for damage or loss of pressure
• Check that the valve is secure
• Confirm that the fender retains its intended shape
• Do not use a damaged valve
• Do not overinflate the fender
• Follow the manufacturer's inflation guidance when adjusting pressure

A fender should remain firm enough to hold its shape while retaining sufficient flexibility to cushion contact.

Installation and Use

Fit a suitable fender line through the reinforced eye or eyes according to the required orientation.

When installing the fender:

• Use a line suitable for marine use
• Tie the line to a secure vessel attachment point
• Position the fender at the expected point of contact
• Keep the valve clear of sharp edges
• Avoid dragging the fender over rough surfaces
• Keep the fender clear of hot exhaust outlets
• Do not attach the fender using damaged or worn eyes
• Do not use the fender as a lifting device
• Do not use the fender as a permanent structural mooring component

Inspect the fender body, valve, reinforced eyes and fender line regularly. Replace the fender if the body is split, permanently distorted or unable to retain pressure.
