Majoni Bow Boat Fender

The Majoni Bow Boat Fender is a shaped inflatable bow protector available in small or large, with white and navy-blue colour options. Its wrap-around profile covers the stem and adjacent bow sections where conventional cylindrical fenders can be difficult to position.

Designed for leisure boats, cruisers and other craft with a compatible bow profile, the fender is secured through reinforced rope sections at the top and bottom. The soft inflatable body helps cushion low-speed contact when berthing bow-to a pontoon, harbour wall or neighbouring vessel.

What Is the Majoni Bow Fender Used For?

It is used to protect the stem and forward topsides during bow-to berthing, manoeuvring and close-quarters mooring. The shaped body remains centred around the bow more effectively than separate cylindrical fenders when the vessel approaches a berth directly ahead.

What Is Included?

• One Majoni Bow Boat Fender in the selected size and colour
• Integral reinforced rope-through mounting sections
• Factory-fitted inflation valve

What Is Not Included?

• Fender ropes or lanyards
• Inflation pump or Majoni valve adaptor
• Pontoon fixings or vessel hardware
• Additional side fenders

How Do I Select the Correct Size?

Compare the vessel bow profile with the manufacturer A, B, C and D dimensions in the table. Select a size that reaches far enough around both sides of the stem without obstructing navigation lights, fairleads, anchors or deck fittings. The larger version is not simply a longer small fender; all four dimensions increase.

How Should the Fender Be Positioned?

• Centre the deepest part of the fender over the stem.
• Run suitable fender lines through the upper and lower mounting sections.
• Use both upper and lower restraint points so the fender cannot rotate away from the impact area.
• Adjust the height before approaching the berth.
• Keep lines clear of anchors, rollers, navigation lights and moving deck equipment.

Construction and Design

• Shaped inflatable body for bow and stem coverage
• Soft marine PVC surface intended to cushion low-speed contact
• Four-point rope-through attachment arrangement
• White and navy-blue colour options
• Replaceable inflation system compatible with the Majoni valve range

Inflation and Safety

Inflate only until the body is firm but still compressible by hand. Majoni recommends approximately 0.2 bar for its inflatable fenders. Use a flat air nozzle or the correct Majoni pump adaptor; never insert a needle or pin into the brass valve. A bow fender supplements careful boat handling and should not be used as a substitute for adequate side fenders or safe berthing speed.

Maintenance

• Rinse with fresh water after exposure to salt or harbour contamination.
• Clean with warm water and mild soap.
• Inspect the body, seams, rope-through sections and valve before use.
• Check air pressure periodically and after large temperature changes.
• Store clean, dry and away from sharp objects when not in use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I select the fender using boat length alone?
No. Bow geometry varies considerably between vessels. Compare the physical A, B, C and D dimensions with the boat and check clearance around anchors, rollers and deck fittings.

Are ropes included?
No. Use suitable fender lines selected for the vessel and mounting arrangement.

Can the fender be overinflated to make it harder?
No. Excess pressure reduces impact absorption and may damage the body or valve. Keep the fender firm but hand-compressible.

Can I use a football or ball-inflation needle?
No. A needle or pin can damage the Majoni valve. Use compressed air with a flat nozzle or the correct Majoni adaptor.

Is this the only fender needed at the bow?
Not necessarily. The number and position of fenders must suit the vessel, berth, wind, tide and expected contact points.
