This document provides installation instructions for the Polymax D Fender.
This document gives step-by-step fitting recommendations for installing a Polymax D-Fender on a boat or yacht. It lists the required tools and materials and explains how to measure, drill, fix, and finish the fender.
It also covers replacing an existing D-fender, including removing old rub rails held by screws or pop rivets, cleaning old sealant, and installing the new profile with fixing strips and end caps.
| Fixing spacing | 75-200 mm apart |
|---|---|
| Fender length calculation | Double boat length + boat width + 1-2 m |
The listed tools include a tape measure, reversible speed drill, putty knife, sealant application gun, and drill bits.
The fixings should be between 75 mm and 200 mm apart, or closer for larger profiles.
Double the boat's length, add the boat's width, then add an extra 1 or 2 meters for the hull's radius.
The rivet heads need to be drilled out using a drill bit no bigger than the shaft of the rivet.
