Selecting the right size and style.
Our fender experts are always available to give you design assistance when you need it. We will
recommend the correct geometry, fender cross section and size for your specific application.
Custom fabricating for easy installation.
With our custom fabrication we can eliminate on-site installation problems. We can angle-cut,
slot and custom fabricate the fender to fit your requirements. Our fender experts will work with
your specs to custom drill holes to match stud size and spacing.
Recommended bolt spacing and type of attachment.
Bolt size and spacing are determined by the size of fender, fender usage and mounting arrangements.
Contact Duramax Marine for specific recommendations
regarding your application.
Duramax® Fender Specialists Available For Design Assistance
Duramax® EPDM Impact Protection Systems are ozone resistant.
A Duramax® system can last 4x longer than SBR or butyl fenders. Ozone can cause cracking in
these lower cost compounds particularly under stress. EPDM resists sunlight, oxidation, seawa-
ter and many chemicals.
