Flat Boat Fender LF 700 – Compact Cushion Fender for Hull Protection

Compact hull protection for boats and yachts

The seaEQ LF 700 flat boat fender is a compact cushion fender designed to protect specific contact areas along the boat hull. Measuring approximately 700 × 400 × 55 mm, it combines a continuous protective surface with a particularly practical, easy-to-handle format.

The LF 700 is suitable for smaller motorboats, sailing boats and tenders, as well as for additional hull protection on larger boats and yachts.

Targeted hull protection across a 700 × 400 mm surface

Conventional cylindrical or spherical boat fenders generally protect a relatively narrow contact area. The LF 700, by contrast, provides a flat, continuous protective surface measuring approximately 700 × 400 mm.

This allows contact forces to be distributed over a wider area, helping to reduce concentrated loads on the boat hull.

Its compact dimensions make the LF 700 particularly useful wherever additional protection is needed at a specific contact point.

Versatile cushion fender for different berthing situations

Thanks to its compact, flat design, the LF 700 can be positioned flexibly along the side of the boat.

It is suitable for berthing alongside, passing through locks, rafting alongside other boats or providing additional protection at particularly exposed contact areas.

On larger boats and yachts, the LF 700 can also complement existing fenders, providing targeted protection between established fender positions or wherever additional cushioning is required.

Ready to use without inflation

The LF 700 is not an inflatable boat fender. Its cushioning core is made of foam, making it ready for immediate use.

There is no need for inflation or air-pressure checks. As the fender contains no air chamber, it cannot lose air.

Its compact cushion design also makes it convenient to store on board when not in use.

Flexible attachment to the boat

The LF 700 can be attached according to the boat, its railings and the intended application. Depending on the situation, textile ties, straps, ropes or hook-and-loop straps can be used.

seaEQ also offers suitable fender lines and fender lines with metal-free railing clips, allowing the cushion fender to be positioned according to individual berthing requirements.

Robust, hull-friendly construction without metal components

No metal components are used in the seaEQ LF 700. This means there are no hard metal parts on the fender that could damage the boat hull through movement or contact.

The outer surface is made from high-strength PVC-coated polyester fabric. The material has been tested for colour fastness to light according to DIN EN ISO 105-B02, achieving a rating of ≥ 5.

The construction is designed for regular use in marine environments.

Integrated Protector Mats

The LF 700 features integrated Protector Mats. They form part of the fender's construction and support its protective function in the contact area against the boat hull.

LF 700 or FPM – What is the difference?

The LF 700 is a complete, padded cushion fender with a foam cushioning core. It provides the fender protection itself.

The seaEQ Fender Protection Mat (FPM), on the other hand, is a thin protective mat placed between an existing boat fender and the hull.

These products serve different purposes: the LF 700 acts as a standalone boat fender, while the FPM complements an existing fender and protects the hull in the contact area.

What makes the LF 700 cushion fender special?

The LF 700 combines a compact design with a continuous protective surface of approximately 700 × 400 mm. This allows contact forces to be distributed across a wider area rather than being concentrated at a single point.

Its convenient size makes it easy to position the cushion fender wherever targeted hull protection is needed.

Which boats is the LF 700 suitable for?

The LF 700 is suitable for different boat sizes, depending on the vessel and berthing conditions.

It provides compact hull protection for smaller motorboats, sailing boats and tenders. On larger boats and yachts, it can complement existing fenders or provide additional protection at specific contact areas.

Can the LF 700 be used as an additional boat fender?

Yes. Its compact dimensions make it particularly suitable for this purpose. The LF 700 can be positioned between existing fenders or at exposed sections of the hull where additional protection is required.

Does the LF 700 need to be inflated?

No. The LF 700 has a foam cushioning core and contains no air chamber. It is ready for immediate use and requires neither inflation nor air-pressure checks.

How is the LF 700 attached to the boat?

The attachment method can be selected to suit the boat. Options include textile ties, straps, ropes and hook-and-loop straps.
