Fender Protection Mat FPM XL – Large Boat Fender Mat & Hull Guard

The seaEQ Fender-Protection-Mat FPM XL provides additional coverage for boat areas with increased protection needs. It reliably protects the hull from chafing and scratches caused by swinging boat fenders during wind, waves, or long mooring periods.

Additional Fender Mat for Increased Protection Needs

The FPM XL was specifically developed for larger boats, high freeboards, or wide fender zones. It is the perfect solution to protect your valuable hull from the mechanical friction of standard boat fenders.

Alternative for Boats with Normal Freeboard

For boats with normal freeboard, the FPM with standard coverage is a more compact alternative.

Use Between Boat Fender and Hull

Like the standard FPM, the FPM XL is placed between a classic boat fender and the boat's hull. Due to its increased height, it covers an extended contact area and is particularly suitable for yachts or changing fender positions.

Sliding Outer Surface and Adhering Hull Side

The outer side consists of an extremely smooth polyester fabric on which the boat fender can slide easily. The side facing the hull is polyurethane-coated and adheres to the boat with light pressure, keeping the mat stable in position.

Cushioning Effect and Functional Application

A 4 mm thick cell rubber core provides a light protective and cushioning effect. The FPM XL is not a fender replacement, but a targeted protective supplement for boats moored at docks or alongside other vessels.
For longer, continuous contact zones, the Long Fender series (LF series) is recommended as a supplement.

Safe Construction Without Metal Parts

The construction is fully sewn with stable PP webbing. All attachment loops are firmly sewn – without any metal parts. This prevents additional scratching risks and ensures safe handling.

Handling and Flexible Use

Despite its size, the FPM XL can be easily rolled up or folded for space-saving storage. It can also be used as a wind or contact guard if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Fender Protection Mat FPM XL

Why do I need a fender mat in addition to my boat fender?

A swinging boat fender often causes fine scratches in the gelcoat due to dirt and constant movement. The FPM XL prevents this friction directly on the boat's surface.

Does the mat stick to every hull?

The PU coating adheres very well to smooth surfaces with light pressure, making it ideal for RIBs (inflatable boats) as well.

Can I combine several mats?

Yes, you can place several FPM XL mats side by side to create a continuous protective barrier for your boat fenders along the entire hull.
