Taylor Made premium gunnel guards are great to protect boat hulls from damaged caused by hard surfaces and edges: including small docks, swim platforms, dinghy gunnels, etc. They are ideal for club tenders that frequently raft up to other boats.

The combination of these two materials provides a tougher, longer lasting flexible cushion that will stand up to the marine environment.
