Just called the prop’s manufacturer to ask some questions and they answered then. I got updates on the order and it arrived as foretold. Very good customer experience.
Been ordering from PYI on a regular basis and never disappointed, even when dealing with custom clearance requirements
These fenders are so easy to inflate and more importantly deflate for storage.
They are very well made. I sent in a picture of my boat and the Lynnwood team
got me all set up and mailed them directly to my house within a few days. Kind of a no brainer.
Ordered larger fenders and this time got the covers custom with our boat name. The name came out pretty good considering it kinda intricate for a weave. It took a bit of time but we got them and they look and feel very robust. Can’t wait to put them to use! Everyone we have dealt with at PYI has been very polite, professional and helpful. We have previously purchased fenders and drillers seals.
Fantastic customer service and helpful information on their products
As a delivery captain I'm constantly amazed at the undersize and poor quantity of the fenders I find on my delivery client's yachts. That is why I carry an assoctment of large inflatable fenders in my equipment bag. For years I used Saturn and AERE fenders. They are both excellent fender manufacturers. It was not until I came across Fendertex that I found a superior product. My previous fenders would last a delivery season or two before the ring would tear away from the body of the fender, rendering them useless. What drew me to Fendertex was their dual strap stainless steel D-rings attached to a rigid reinforced fender collar. This feature solved my ring tear-away issue. So why is this important? My delivery schedule has me transiting hundreds of locks in a season, from small river locks to locks on the Welland Canal. The pressure applied to the fender and D-rings is especially high when locking upward.
I've had my Fendertex fenders for 18 months. They are incredibly light weight and being made from a incredibly durable textile fabric, as opposed to the elastomerics used by other inflatable manufacturers, allows me to roll and pack 3 large fenders, along with a portable pump, in a small duffel bag.
I recently completed a Miami to Chicago delivery (by way of the Western River System) on a 62' boat. The Fendertex fenders performed beautifully. Once home I power washed the covers, let dry and packed them away for my next trip.
You may be curious what fenders were on the client's boat? Three medium size PVC fenders....
I received exactly what I ordered. Well Done.
Five stars is for supplying more than I ordered, including meaningful information that I didn’t know I needed.
I ordered the grease on-line from the website and received an e-mail that the order had been shipped a short time after.
Thanks to your staff reminding me that I needed to update my expired card, I was able to receive our max prop anode and much to my surprise - was the first sailboat launched in our harbor!
Apparently it has finally arrived at the post office. It was ent promptly but took 10 days to go from your facility on Washington to LA and on to Canada. I actually delayed my trip to the boat to wait on its arrival. My dealings with PYI are otherwise excellent
No cotter pins included
Hello Sean,
We are very sorry about that! I have sent some cotter pins your way.
Thank you,
I have been a boater for decades and have not come across any fenders or fender covers of this quality or uniqueness before. They will do the job and look great.

Actually found the site fhrough a couple of Youtube videos where they used the Max-Prop Grease kit, Easy ordering and fast delivery.
This was the first time taking my boat out of thevwater since I got the MaxProp. The kit was easy to use and I successfully changed the anode and lubed the prop. Thanks for making it easy!
