Preparation:

Remove Existing Components: Start by removing any rubber molds and inserts from the installation area.

Prepare the Fender Cover:

Unroll the fender cover.

Begin filling the PVC cover with the round foam supplied with your kit. Fill the cover from both ends, working towards the center.

Insert Foam:

Make sure to use all the foam provided to ensure proper fitment.

The foam should be inserted so that it fits snugly, especially the last few pieces which may require some flexing to fit into the cover.

Installing the Tracks

Sail Track Installation:

Install three separate lengths of track for the fender system:

Lower Fender Track: This track is installed 90mm down from the top edge of the pontoon.

Top Fender Track (Middle Track): This holds the fender securely at the desired height on the pontoon.

Carpet Shaping Cover Track: This track runs alongside the top fender track and is used to hold the carpet shaping cover in place.

Secure the Tracks:

Ensure each track is properly aligned and secured.

Close the ends of the tracks with a hammer to prevent the fender from sliding when in use.

Final Steps:

Install the Fender:

Roll the filled fender into the water at the intended location on your pontoon or marina dock.

Check and Adjust:

Make sure the fender is positioned correctly and securely within the tracks.

Adjust if necessary to ensure it functions properly and provides the necessary protection for your boat.

Finish Up:

Pull the carpet shaping cover over the top of the middle track and adjust it to lie flat and even.

Conclusion:

Congratulations! You have successfully installed your ProFender Super Fender. Your boat is now equipped with additional protection to help guard against impacts and damage while docked. Enjoy your boating with added peace of mind.

Tools Needed:

• Drill
• Wood screws
• Hammer

Step 1: Clear Your Dock

Remove any debris and old protection to ensure the ProFender sits flush against the dock.

Step 2: Prepare the Fender Cover

1. Unroll the fender cover and lay it flat.
2. Fill the PVC cover with the closed-cell foam cylinders provided in your kit.
3. Insert the foam from both ends, working toward the center.
4. Ensure a snug fit—the last few pieces may require slight flexing to slide in fully.

Step 3: Position the Fender

• Place your ProFender in the water with the track-side facing up.
• The single track should be closer to the dock, and the double tracks should face outward.

Step 4: Align the Bottom Track

• Position the bottom track parallel to the water, about 3-5 inches (7.5-12.5 cm) below the top of the dock.
• This placement is flexible:
• Secure the track using your drill and the pre-drilled holes.

Step 5: Secure the Bottom Track Ends

• Before moving to the next step, tap the metal track ends with a hammer.
• This closes off the track where the fabric (PVC and carpet) slides through.
• Only tap the ends of the track—whether it’s a single long piece or multiple sections butted together.

Step 6: Install the Top Holding Track

• Find a spot 2-5 cm (0.75-2 inches) from the dock’s top corner to secure the top holding track.
• Drill it in firmly—this piece provides structural support.
• Before proceeding, tap the ends of the top track with a hammer.

Step 7: Install the Carpet Cover Track

• Secure the carpet cover track for a clean, professional finish.
• For optimal aesthetics, install it:
• Double-check alignment before securing to ensure a smooth, even look.

Step 8: Final Adjustments

• Align and stretch the top track and carpet until positioned correctly.
• Carefully drill into the designated holes—avoid over-tightening to prevent dents.
• If covering multiple sections, tap the track ends at the ends of the dock length to fully secure the material.

Installation Complete!

Your dock and vessels are now protected by ProFender.

This version ensures precision, clarity, and professional aesthetics. Let me know if you need any last refinements!
