Fenders are made to protect your boat,
even in tough conditions. When deciding on the size
and number of fenders, plan for the unexpected and toughest
weather conditions. Also consider extra fenders in addition
to the "basic need".
Depending on the shape of the hull, weight
of the boat etc, consider a possible mix of cylindrical
and / or spherical fenders to achieve maximum protection.
Please note that the fender guide to the
right can only provide guidance, and that local conditions
are of vital importance. If in doubt, seek professional
advice.

Inflation
Guide
Important!
Do not over-inflate as this will weaken the product
and void the warranty!
SCANMARIN products are designed
to be inflated to 0.15 to 0.20 bar of pressure
at 20 degrees Celsius. For use under tropical
conditions the pressure has to be reduced to 0.05
to 0.06 bar.
When inflating products without
a pressure gauge, fill the fender / buoy until
the walls start to expand and make sure that you
are able to depress the wall at least a quarter
of an inch (approx. 0,65 cm) with light hand pressure,
(for tropical conditions: approx. half an inch
or approx. 1,5 cm). Please note that over-inflation
voids warranty!
The unique Scanmarin valves ensure
an optimal seal and easy inflation and deflation.
Valves
(double valve system)
F11
(and optional F8) is equipped with the Provinor®
Double Valve System (air in / air out). The valves
are moulded into the rope-holds, located on opposite
ends of the fender:
V10:
During inflation, a flap at the lower end of the
valve ensures little or no loss of air.
Securing the rigid plastic screw will then close
the valve.
The clear plastic inflation
valve =
AIR IN
The blue coloured deflation
valve = AIR OUT
V40:
Designed for easy pressure regulation and not equipped
with any bottom flap.
Inflate through the centre hole of the screw. (The
screw should not be removed from the valve).
Cleaning
Vinyl cleaner, mineral spirits or simply
soap and water may be used. Stronger chemicals like
lacquer thinner or acetone will
irreversibly harm the products by breaking down
the chemical composition.
Marking
Waterproof marker pens are widely used,
alternatively, special paint for silk-screening on soft
PVC may be used.
