Affordura PWC Fender Bumper with Elastic Cords 2x 18.5 inch for Yamaha Jet Ski Dock Bumpers - 14 x 6 x 3.2 inch

Très pratique

As others have reviewed, they are a pain to set/configure if you have to reach into your bow to retrieve them, find the bungie cords and set them up all while floating next to a dock (especially if its wavy). But once these things are in place and secure, they are super effective and absolutely necessary when docking if you don't want to ding up your PWC when docking. I also have the Yamaha OEM bumpers, which I like, but they don't protect your PWC as well as these do. I use both together, especially if I'm docked in rougher waters. But I always prefer staying away from docks with a PWC. I'd way rather beach it or use SandSharks and tether it in the water away from docks that can destroy your PWC in a matter of minutes if not protected.

I don't have a good anchor point for a fender within range of the bungee cord near the front. My first attempt ended up with the fender and bungee cord falling into the water. Of course, the bungee cord separated and sank to the bottom. I found a better location that I could reach with a longer bungee cord. I discovered that I could tether the original bungee cord to the rear fender with a zip tie through the grommet and the loop in the bungee handle. The new bungee cord didn't have such a loop. So, I used a wire tie and wound it around the cord, just above the plastic hook. The zip tie and wire tie only act as tethers and do not support the fenders. The fender covers have withstood abrasion. So far, so good.

Quality of the product is good. But no matter how I secure it, if water is choppy, they fly off the ski when hitting waves, also move when docking. Like a lot. They should probably look into adding self adhesive welcro sticking. So you would stick a welcro on ski and the pads should have the other welcro side. Otherwise it doesn't work in my case. 2000 Yamaha GP1200 R.

Use these for the jet ski on my cousins dock. This is a floating dock but that shouldn't have mattered. Both the front and back were in a good location but the plastic the hold the buoy to the ski broke after one use in normal conditions. Very disappointed. UPDATE: after a closer review of the dock and how the jet ski sits in the water I think the dock caused the issue and broke the fenders. The side were we docked was missing a float and was sinking in the water with just a small amount of waves. We fixed the dock and I took the broken fenders and attached them to the dock. We had bought a second set and are using them on the jet ski now and everything seems to be working correctly. No more issues.
