FENDERTEX Cylindrical Fender C104 — Gray

FENDERTEX Cylindrical Fender C104

The FENDERTEX C104 is a premium inflatable textile cylindrical fender engineered for boats ranging from 52 to 62 feet (16–19 meters). At just 3.0 lbs (1.36 kg), it is up to 95% lighter than comparable PVC fenders and up to 40% lighter than other inflatable fenders, making it far easier to handle and deploy at the dock. When deflated, the C104 reduces to 95% smaller than a standard PVC fender — fitting conveniently into a locker alongside an entire set — and inflates quickly when needed.

The fender's soft textile construction protects gelcoat and painted hulls from marks and scratches. Stainless steel D-rings at the top allow vertical hanging, while horizontal positioning is possible with an optional Long Side Cover (required for C84 models and larger). Its compression strength of 13,227 lbs (6,000 kg) provides reliable protection even for larger vessels in demanding docking conditions.

Manufactured in France, the FENDERTEX C104 features fabric that is highly resistant to UV color fading, able to adapt to large temperature fluctuations, and capable of retaining its shape after long periods of compression. The fender can be easily cleaned in a standard washing machine, simplifying maintenance. The C104 Gray variant (part number FX-C10-4GY) is available in both Standard and Reinforced construction options.
