Attwood Marine Dock Corners, Bumpers & Profiles: Protecting Your Boat Where It Matters Most
Every time a boat meets a dock, there is potential for costly damage — to the hull, the dock decking, and the hardware in between. That is the problem that Attwood Marine has spent over a century solving. As a brand with more than 100 years of marine industry experience, Attwood brings the same engineering discipline to dock protection that it applies across its full catalog of marine accessories. Their dock corners, bumpers, and profiles are a practical extension of that legacy.
The SoftSide Line: Built for the Harshest Marine Environments
Attwood's flagship dock protection products fall under the SoftSide line, which includes corner fenders, straight-edge fenders, and post fenders designed to cover every vulnerable point on a dock. The SoftSide Corner Dock Fender, available in both 12" x 12" and round 7" x 15" profiles, is engineered to fit squarely at any 90-degree dock corner — exactly where boats most commonly make contact during docking maneuvers.
What sets these products apart is their material science. Attwood SoftSide fenders are molded from a lightweight polymeric material that is soft to the touch and easy on boat hulls, while simultaneously resisting UV degradation, chalking, splitting, deflating, and crushing. That combination of softness and durability is critical in a marine environment where products face constant sun, saltwater, and mechanical stress.
The construction details further reinforce their dependability: a seamless one-piece design eliminates weak seams that could split over time, ribbed sides resist rolling against the hull during wave action, and double-molded eye ends add extra structural strength at the highest-stress points. A six-hole 5/16" mounting pattern ensures a secure, stable attachment to dock framing.
Why Attwood Stands Behind This Category
Attwood's products are designed and tested against the highest performance and regulatory standards in the industry, and their dock protection hardware is no exception. The brand is known for practical, marine-ready parts that handle harsh environments — whether freshwater lakes or saltwater marinas — and the SoftSide fender line reflects that philosophy directly.
For boaters who want a trusted, installation-ready solution that will hold up season after season without cracking, fading, or losing its protective cushion, Attwood dock corners and bumpers deliver. They are compact, easy to mount, and built from materials that won't damage delicate gel-coat or painted hulls on contact.
