Taylor Made Specialty Fenders
Taylor Made Specialty Fenders: Engineered for Every Docking Situation
When standard cylindrical fenders simply won't do, Taylor Made steps in with a lineup of Specialty Fenders purpose-built for the scenarios that demand more. With over 100 years of marine innovation behind them, Taylor Made has developed specialty fender solutions that address the unique protection challenges faced by personal watercraft owners, pontoon boaters, rafting crews, and anyone dealing with low-freeboard docking situations.
What Sets Taylor Made Specialty Fenders Apart
From high-quality, marine-grade vinyl construction to patented inflation technology, Taylor Made boat fenders are optimally designed to guard against splitting and bursting. This same engineering discipline carries through to their specialty lineup, where each fender style is conceived around a specific hull type, docking surface, or boat-use scenario — not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Taylor Made's versatile fenders feature seamless construction, with molded ribs to minimize roll and are made from the highest quality marine-grade vinyl with a high-gloss finish. These construction details are especially important in specialty applications, where a fender that rolls or shifts out of position could leave a hull or transom unprotected at the worst possible moment.
Key Specialty Fender Styles from Taylor Made
- Fender Cushions™ — The Fender Cushions are the only fender specifically designed for maximum protection when rafting or tying up against solid walls. Their flat profile creates a broad contact surface that standard round fenders cannot replicate.
- Hull Saver™ PWC Fenders — Contoured specifically for personal watercraft, these fenders protect the hull surfaces unique to jet skis and similar vessels where conventional fenders would leave gaps in coverage.
- Transom Fenders — Designed to shield the vulnerable rear of a vessel during stern-to docking, an area frequently neglected by general-purpose fender kits.
- Pontoon & Pontoon Corner Gard Fenders — Built to match the flat sides and sharp corners of pontoon boats, protecting aluminum tubes and rails from dock and piling contact.
- Square Low Freeboard Fenders — Tailored for vessels that sit close to the waterline, ensuring even low-profile hulls get full-perimeter protection at the dock.
- Freedom Fenders & Modular Flat Fenders — Flat and modular designs that allow boaters to customize coverage across wider hull sections, bulkheads, or dock edges.
Marine-Grade Materials Built to Last
Specially designed with flexible, resilient marine-grade vinyl, Taylor Made boat bumpers stand up to harsh marine conditions, season after season. Specialty fenders face particularly demanding duty cycles — they are often deployed in fixed positions for extended periods, exposed to UV, saltwater, and constant mechanical stress from tidal changes. Taylor Made's material standards are why boaters trust these products to stay supple and protective over years of continuous use.
Taylor Made is an American manufacturer and global supplier of industry-best boat accessories and customized marine components to both the OEM market and aftermarket. That dual OEM and aftermarket pedigree means the engineering rigor behind specialty fenders meets the same standards demanded by professional boat builders — not just weekend boaters.
